All British predecimal Pennies from 1860 to 1967 were made from bronze.
The percenatge of the metals in the alloy changed a little over the years, but from 1945 to 1967 they were 95.5% copper, 3% tin and 1.5% zinc.

Is a penny iron?
no a penny is copper... Actually not since 1982.... In the middle of that year the rising price of copper forced the Mint to change the coin's composition to zinc with a thin copper plating. The copper plating is only 2.5% of the coin's composition.

No such thing as an 1817 Canadian penny. Canada wasn't formed until 1867, prior to that, coins had the name of the province on them. The earliest I can find in my coin catalogue dates to 1861 from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. A 1917 penny, in good condition is worth from .20 to $125 for a pristine, certified quality coin.
