Best Answer

1943 was the only year that the US made zinc-coated steel cents because copper was needed for ammunition. By 1944 there was enough copper available that used shell casings were recycled for making cents.

Note that there were a few 1943 copper cents struck by mistake, as well as 1944 steel cents.
