Circulating pennies were struck in silver until 1781, when silver increased in price and had to be replaced with copper. Silver pennies continue to be struck as part of special sets called "Maundy Money" (Google it for more info) but they do not circulate.

I checked a guide for Maundy sets and a 1919 silver 1d coin would retail at about $40.
