No, a 1961 US penny was 95 percent copper. Current pennies are made of zinc, with a copper shell.

The U.S. Mint did not make a nickel penny in 1977. If you have one it may be a regular penny with a coating or plating of some sort on it. Scratch the rim and see if there is copper underneath.

You can tell if a penny is made out of zinc or copper by the date on the penny. If the date is before 1982 then the penny is 95% copper. Pennies dated 1983 or later are 97.5% zinc with a thin copper coating.
