Officially, 1943 only.

A few were struck in 1944 by mistake when some leftover steel blanks got mixed in with the normal bronze ones, but these are considered to be mint errors.

Why do pennys rust?

Pennies do not rust because they are made of copper-plated zinc. However, the copper plating can react with certain acids and chemicals, causing them to tarnish or develop a patina over time. This is different from rust, which is the result of iron or steel reacting with oxygen and water.
