The US never made any iron cents. All US cents dated 1976 were struck in bronze. And in any case iron isn't suitable for coins because it rusts and can be brittle.
An iron coin would stick to a magnet, so that should be the first test if you suspect a coin is made of that metal, steel, or pure nickel (note - US nickels are mostly copper!)
The only US Coins ever made of a magnetic metal were the famous wartime steel pennies dated 1943.
