Is it possible to find a civil war token from a roll of pennies from a walmart?
Theoretically yes. The US had changed to "small cents" in 1857, when the flying eagle penny was introduced. Before that pennies were much bigger - about the size of a quarter, and thick. Starting with the 1857 flying eagle cent the pennies have been the same size since. Many Civil War tokens were made in the same size, some by grinding smooth a penny and engraving something patriotic on it. They are often called victory tokens. The flying eagle pennies were only made for three years, and were replaced by Indian Head pennies, which were made through 1908, when the Lincoln penny was introduced.

What us coins were affected by World War 2?
1943 Cents were minted on zinc-plated steel to conserve copper needed for war materials. This was not very satisfactory and the government later attempted, with little success, to remove all of them from circulation. From 1944 to 1946/7 artillery shells were recycled to make brass cents (some tin was added to the alloy, but not enough to make them meet the pre-war composition). Nickel was also important to the war effort so the 5 cent coin was changed to an alloy of 35% silver from mid-1942 through 1945.AnswerI dont remember the specific years, but I know that they quit making copper pennies for a bit. They made what are called "steel cents". I believe the copper was needed to make ammunition and such for the war.
