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.
A 2000 wheat penny is worth its face value of one cent, as it was produced after the U.S. Mint stopped producing wheat pennies in 1958. However, if you have a 2000 penny with an error or in uncirculated condition, it might be worth a bit more to collectors. Typically, standard 2000 pennies are not considered valuable. If you're unsure, it's best to consult a coin dealer or appraiser.
Yes, you can. However, you will probably get more money if you sell them for their collector value.
2011 pennies, like all regular U.S. pennies, have a face value of one cent each. However, if they are in uncirculated condition or part of a special collection, they may be worth slightly more to collectors. Generally, unless they are in excellent condition or have unique features, their value remains at one cent per penny. Therefore, a roll of 50 2011 pennies would still only be worth 50 cents.
