1981 and earlier are 95percent copper. 1982s could be zinc or copper you would have to check weights on that year.
They are worth more because less were minted.
WHAT YEARS be more specific..
They aren't.1967 and 1968 pennies both have very high mintages and are in common circulation, they are only worth a penny.
The penny is worth 1 cent, unless it's misstruck or something.
One roll of pennies has a face value of a 50 cents. However, if there is a penny in the roll that is worth more than 1 cent the roll will be worth more.
A three year old is likely to see five pennies as more money than a nickel because they may count each individual penny as a separate unit, whereas a nickel is seen as one single coin.
They are worth more because less were minted.
For the most part, no. Since the 1950s, Denver has produced more pennies per year than Philadelphia. The only D cents worth significantly more are from before WWII.
WHAT YEARS be more specific..
Two pennIes
They're not.
They really aren't. When a coin first comes out in the year, there is a rush for collectors to buy them for their collection or as birthday/Christmas gifts for people. Because of this, generally the current year is "worth" more than the previous year because most of the coin collectors have already gotten the previous year's coins but might not have the current year's coins. It is a temporary increase and when the 2012 coins start coming out, the 2011 coins will not be worth a premium any more.More ...The answer to this grade-school joke is that 2,011 pennies are worth $20.11 but 2,010 pennies are worth one cent less.

it all depends on what year it is
1960 pennies are worth more. Wrong!.... 2008 are worth more... its about quantity not YEAR Clever. But I would point out that the 1990 pennies would probably be worth the most due to the fact that they contain more copper =)

The pennies value is a bit more then it's worth
