Is 1965 a copper Penny?
Yes, (aside from the very early Indian Head and the Flying Eagles along with the 1943 steel penny) all US cents dated 1981 and prior are 95% copper. US cents dated 1983 and later are copper coated zinc. Some 1982 pennies are copper, while others are zinc.
What is the last year of the copper penny?
The first copper plated zinc (U.S.) cents were struck at the end of 1981 and dated 1982. The mints continued to make some copper (bronze or brass, actually) pennies for a year afterwards, but all pennies dated 1983 or later are made of zinc. The only exception is that some proofs and special commemorative issues are still copper. You can tell the difference by dropping a penny on a hard surface. A copper penny will make a ringing sound, while a zinc one makes a dull click.
Why are copper pennies important?
