Best Answer

All 1941 US cents were made of bronze. If your coin is from Another Country please post a new, separate question.

The only US cents from that era that contained zinc were the special "war pennies" minted in 1943. These were made from scrap steel coated with a thin layer of zinc to slow down rusting. Zinc wasn't used again in US cents until 1982 when the coin's composition was changed to a pure zinc core with a thin plating of copper.
