Nobody mints 100% copper pennies. These days, copper is far too expensive to be minting low denomination coins such as a Penny, and many countries that still produce their lowest single unit of currency coins, do so from steel.
Even in the old days copper was alloyed with other metals to produce "copper" coins.

No. The best way to explain this is to look at it as 100 pennies, which equals a dollar.

Therefore, 3 percent is much, much less than 75 percent.
