Flattening destroyed any collector's value they may have had.Undamaged, they would have been worth $2 to maybe $18 depending on condition.
If the pennies are brand new (like grandpa got them from a bank and socked them away) you can get several dollars for them depending on date and mintmark. If they are just pennies taken from circulation they typically run at most 2 cents each. One big exception is the 1931 S . Even worn it could be worth over $50. You might also get a dollar or so for a worn 1931 D and 1933 D .
These pennies are called "Wheat Pennies". They were last made in 1958.
Wheat pennies were minted from 1909 to 1958.
Yes, in the 1970s pennies were made of 95% copper while in the 1990s they were made of about 97% zinc.
No, but they're not worth a huge amount to begin with. Are you thinking of 1933 double eagles, which ARE worth a fortune?
It is currently thought that twelve "Andre Lavillier (Lavrillier)" 1933 Pattern Pennies exist. You can never be certain since they will be locked away in museums, or the collections of the very wealthy and they will never see the light of day until they are sold.
With the possible exception of traders tokens (with the traders business name on them), there were no "New Zealand" Shillings minted prior to 1933. Any Shillings circulating in New Zealand prior to 1933 would have been mostly British Shillings and some Australian Shillings.
the bank!

It would depend on your definition of "old". If you refer to British decimal Pennies, the only year they have not been struck for general circulation was 1972, but there were 1972 Proof Pennies struck. If you refer to British predecimal Pennies, they have been predecimal Pennies in circulation since the late 9th century AD. To keep it manageable we will only look at 20th century Pennies. Pennies were not struck in 1923, 1924, 1925, 1941, 1942, 1943 and 1955 to 1960 inclusive. To be entirely fair, there were 1933, 1952 and 1954 Pennies struck, but they were struck as "pattern" or "proof" coins in very small quantities ranging from 1 to maybe 8 coins. These are considered extremely rare if not unique, and are locked up in various collections or museums.
pennies can be best used as such. How many pennies do you have?
There was an unknown number of 1933 British Pennies minted. Seven are known to exist. Two are in museums, three in private collections, one under a foundation stone at the University of London building, and one stolen from the foundation stone of the Church of St. Cross, current whereabouts not known. CAUTION - There have been several attempts at forgery of this coin by skilled craftsmen. Authentication and verification of such coins is vital to avoid expensive and embarassing mistakes.
