The first coins called pennies were minted in England at some point in the 8th or 9th century. Britain continues to mint pennies today, although the coins are nothing like any of their predecessors.
The US 1¢ coin is officially called a cent, but everyone still uses the slang term penny as a holdover from colonial-era times. The first US cents were minted in 1793. They were large, about the size of a half-dollar, and were made of pure copper. In 1857 the Mint downsized the coin to its current 19mm diameter. Over the years cents have been minted in copper-nickel, bronze, steel, and (today) copper-plated zinc.
