What is a mis-struck penny made of steel or nickel worth?
Assuming you have a penny dated after 1982, it's actually made out of zinc -- it's just missing its outer copper layer. It has a retail value of a couple of dollars. If it's dated 1943, you have a standard "wartime" cent struck (btw, not "stamped") in steel to conserve copper for the war effort. Unless the coin is in like-new condition, it'll be worth 50¢ to $1.
What is a 1932 penny made out of nickel?
NICKEL, not "nickle" And not a 1932 cent, either. All wheat cents except for 1943 steel "war pennies" were made of bronze, an alloy of 95% copper and 5% tin/zinc. If your coin is silvery in color it's almost certainly been plated for use in jewelry or similar. That makes it a damaged coin with no collector value.

Why dont you use lead in the center of your pennies instead of zinc?
The penny was originally made of pure copper, then bronze (95% copper). However, the value of the copper in a penny eventually became more than the value of a penny. Therefore, they started making the penny out of zinc and coating it with copper because people were used to copper pennies. Second, cents and dimes are nearly the same size, so most people distinguish them by color. When zinc-plated steel cents were made during WWII people confused them with dimes because they had a similar silvery appearance. A pure zinc coin would have the same problem. Finally, zinc can be poisonous in high doses and is more easily absorbed than copper, so if a child were to swallow a pure zinc coin it would be more dangerous.
