Canadian pennies were made of copper until 1996. From 1997 to 1999 the composition was changed to copper-plated zinc, similar to American cents issued since 1982. In 2000 the composition was changed again, this time to a combination of steel, nickel, and zinc with a copper plating.

∙ 11y agoCanadian cents were made of bronze (98% copper) until 1996.
From 1997 to 1999 they were struck in copper-plated zinc similar to the composition of the US cent post-1982.
Starting in 2000 Canadian pennies were composed of 94% steel, 1.5% nickel, 4.5% copper plating but zinc cents were also produced every year except 2008.
Canada discontinued the 1¢ piece in 2012.

∙ 14y agoAll U.S. "pennies" are worth one cent (face value) so saying "a one cent penny" is like saying "a 12 inch foot". As you can tell from looking at your pocket change, cents are still being made in enormous numbers!
