The vast majority are quite common. Every so often one may still turn up in change.
The only rare US cent from the 1940s is the famed 1943 bronze cent. In 1943 the Mint made pennies out of steel to save copper for the war effort. However a small number were struck in error using bronze blanks left over from 1942. These coins sell for tens of thousands of dollars today.
