All Lincoln cents from late 1982 to 2013 are made of the same metals. .975 Zinc and .025 copper is the total content of the coins. Basically they are copper plated zinc coins.
You can use a metal polish to get pennies back to looking new.
The newer pennies have a different proportion of metal
Pennies and the Statue of Liberty are both made of copper but the Statue of Liberty is now green just like pennies become, although they are shiny when they're new. So copper is the metal that has green tarnish.
Please post a new question with the country or countries you're interested in. Pennies (or cents) are used in about 5 dozen different countries.

There were 10.8 million 1952 New Zealand Pennies minted.
Such a thing does not exist. New Zealand did not mint it's own pennies until 1940. Any Pennies circulating in New Zealand prior to 1940 would have been mostly British Pennies and some Australian Pennies.
With the possible exception of traders tokens (with the traders business name on them), there were no "New Zealand" Pennies minted prior to 1940. Any Pennies circulating in New Zealand prior to 1940 would have been mostly British Pennies and some Australian Pennies.
