Actually, the San Francisco Mint is still striking all denominations from 1¢ to $1, but only for proof sets. All carry the S mint mark.
Circulation cents with an S mint mark were struck there from 1909 to 1955, and from 1968 to 1974.
There have been occasional small runs of other dates at both San Francisco and West Point when demand is high and the Mints at Denver and Philadelphia are maxed out, but these coins don't carry a mint mark and are indistinguishable from Philadelphia strikes.

Solid copper pennies were last minted in 1857 and were much larger than today's penny. Pennies were made mostly of copper until mid-1982, when the composition was changed to 97.5% zinc with a plating of 2.5% copper. The only exception was in 1943 when wartime copper shortages forced the Mint to make pennies out of scrap steel. Bronze cents were resumed the next year, 1944.
