The first English coin to be called a penny was produced in 790 AD. The denomination has gone through many variations over the centuries and is now the smallest-value coin in the British system.
The first "penny" in the United States was minted in 1793 and was made of 100 percent copper. Strictly speaking the US Coins are cents but the first ones were somewhat similar to their predecessor British Coins so they were also called pennies, and the name has stuck for over 200 years.

What year was the US penny invented?
If you mean what was the FIRST year, the first US cents (and half-cents) were struck in 1793 at the Philadelphia Mint. But they really weren't "invented" because that word usually refers to developing a machine or technology. Although it was one of the first (or THE first) decimal coin minted, the US cent was in part derived from the British penny which at that time had been struck in various forms for almost 800 years.
