The British Penny has been made from copper-plated steel since 1992.

Note that it's one penny, not "one pence". Pence is plural. "One pence" is like saying "one mice".

From 1860 to 1992, British Pennies were made from bronze which, depending on the year, may have consisted of anything between 92 and 97% copper.
