Two pennIes
The US has never made and never will make silver pennies. If a penny was silver it would be worth more than a dime.
All wheat pennies, regardless of year are worth at least 3 cents if the date is readable. Some wheat pennies though, are worth quite a bit more. For instance, the 1909 S VDB penny is worth several hundred dollars even in worn condition and so is the 1914 D penny. However, a 1909 S VDB penny in pristine condition could be worth thousands of dollars. In general, the older the wheat penny the more valuable it is. For example, most wheat pennies dated in the 1940s-1950s aren't that valuable, but wheat pennies dated in the teens and twenties are worth a lot more.
1960 pennies are worth more. Wrong!.... 2008 are worth more... its about quantity not YEAR Clever. But I would point out that the 1990 pennies would probably be worth the most due to the fact that they contain more copper =)
They're not.
Because it costs more than a penny to produce a penny.
...but only a penny more!
One roll of pennies has a face value of a 50 cents. However, if there is a penny in the roll that is worth more than 1 cent the roll will be worth more.
A 1999 Denver Mint penny is not worth appreciably more than other pennies. In most collections, this penny would only be worth one cent.
A shilling is worth more than a penny. In the British currency system, there are 12 pennies in a shilling.
wheat pennies were made by the billion back then and are not worth more than 50 cents even uncirculated

any copper penny is worth more than its face value.
Too new to be worth more than face. For pennies, they must be 58 or earlier (wheatbacks) to be worth saving.
Because the rise in value of copper made pennies worth more than one cent.
Because there are no 1967 pennies. Decimal currency started in 1966.Actually, 1966 pennies should be worth more than 1967 pennies as a 1967 penny would be a fake.CorrectionThis question was posted in US Coins so it refers to US 1-cent pieces by their slang name. It's actually a rather lame joke. The answer is (ba DING!) "1,967 pennies are worth $19.67 which is one cent more than $19.66"

Actually, it is illegal. The metal in a penny is worth more than a penny. However, quarters made before 1974(I think), can be sold for their weigth in silver.
