The first coins called pennies were made in Britain over 1000 years ago so it's not possible to know exactly when and where the first one was struck.
US 1¢ coins are technically cents; the slang "penny" is a holdover from colonial times when British Coins were used. The first circulating US cent was struck in 1793, although experimental and pattern cents (e.g. the famous Fugio cent and silver-center cent) were minted several years earlier.
