I'm guessing you must mean US "wheatie" pennies, made from 1909-1958, before the reverse was changed to show the Lincoln Memorial. Actually, through 1982 these pennies were made of 95% copper. Copper today in $2.87 per pound, making each pre-1983 penny worth 1.9 cents. So a roll of 50 is worth 95 cents for melt value.

US "wheatie" pennies may also have collectible value, depending on the year of mintage, mint mark, if any, and most importantly, condition. If they are uncirculated (mint state - untouched by human hands, new looking) they are much more valuable. Those made before 1930 are almost all worth at least a few dollars, because they made very few in those days.

If you mean Canadian pennies, which have a maple leaf on them, the answer would be different.

no they do not so there
