It's not possible to give an exact answer. No person or agency keeps track of which coins are in circulation and the US has never officially withdrawn any of the so-called small cents minted since 1856.
From a practical standpoint, though, most cents in circulation date from the mid-1970s onward simply because over time older ones get lost, stuffed into piggy banks, damaged, etc. 1964-dated cents do turn up somewhat often though because huge numbers were minted to help with making change when higher-denomination silver coins were being replaced with copper-nickel clad coins.
In addition very few "wheat cents" turn up in change because they stand out and people tend to hold onto them.
