A 1980 Canadian cent weighs 2.8 gm and was struck in an alloy of 98% copper, 1.75% tin, and 0.25% zinc
In Australia, the coins made primarily of zinc are the 5-cent and 10-cent coins. These coins are composed of a nickel-brass alloy that contains zinc, with the 5-cent coin being 75% copper and 25% nickel, while the 10-cent coin is 65% copper, 20% nickel, and 15% zinc. Additionally, the Australian 1-cent and 2-cent coins, which are no longer in circulation, were also primarily made of bronze, which contains zinc.
A 2000 zinc penny without the copper content is worth less than 1 cent. The value is based on the metal content, which is primarily zinc. Since zinc is worth significantly less than copper, the value of the penny is minimal.
Two cent pieces were struck in the same alloy as cents - 95% copper and 5% tin/zinc, so they're copper-coloured.

A 1994 US cent is zinc not copper, spend it.
If it's a US 1 cent coin it's zinc not copper and value is 1 cent
In 1962 the composition of the Lincoln Cent was changed from 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc to 95% copper and 5% zinc. This new alloy was in use when the 1964 pennies were minted.
