Pennies don't rust. Rust technically speaking is iron oxide and pennies have little to no iron. They do however oxidize, tuning them green from the copper which makes up most of the metal they are made from.

Do pennies rust faster in saltwater or in fresh water?

Pennies are made of copper and don't rust unless they are the zinc pennies issued in 1942 and 1943. However, zinc will not rust either. The so-called steel pennies minted during World War II were made of steel and coated with zinc. If the penny becomes damaged or if the zinc coating is compromised, the underlying steel will rust if exposed to the proper elements. Pennies do corrode though.
