They aren't made from nickel. Past US cents have been made of copper, bronze, or steel. Since 1982 they've been made of copper-plated zinc.
True "pennies" from Britain (US Coins are actually "cents") are made of copper-plated steel.
The only US cents to contain nickel were Flying Eagle and some early-date Indian Head cents; they were 88% copper and 12% nickel.
