Pennies are currently made of zinc with a thin copper plating. Neither copper nor zinc are magnetic and will be attracted to anything but an extremely strong magnetic field.

Pennies are made of copper. Iron is ferrous not copper. To be ferromagnetic you would have to add iron or the other ferromagnetic elements..
