Why do pennies from the 1970's have a greater mass than pennies from the 1990's?

Because Lincoln cents until 1982 (Some 1982 cents are copper, others are zinc) were struck in 95% copper, starting in 1982 they are made of mostly zinc with a small plating of copper. Since copper has a greater mass than zinc they weigh more. Copper pennies are also worth more than zinc pennies, if it was legal to melt them down, you could get about 2 cents for every copper penny but only about half a cent in scrap for zinc pennies. However, at the time being it is illegal to melt down US pennies in the US or export them to be melted down.

The only exception was in 1943 when wartime copper shortages forced the Mint to make pennies out of scrap steel. Bronze cents were resumed the next year, 1944.
