Modern circulation pennies are made by the US Mint in either Philadelphia or Denver. You can visit their website www.usmint.gov to learn more about the US Mint and its programs.
Coins made in Denver have a small D under the date. Cents from Philadelphia don't have a mint mark. They're the only denomination made since 1980 that doesn't carry a mint mark.
Up to 1955 and from 1968 to 1974, San Francisco made cents for circulation. These have an S mint mark and very occasionally still turn up in change.
When demand for cents has been very high the West Point Mint also makes small numbers of cents, but these don't have mint marks either and look exactly like Philadelphia cents.

I'm guessing you must mean US "wheatie" pennies, made from 1909-1958, before the reverse was changed to show the Lincoln Memorial. Actually, through 1982 these pennies were made of 95% copper. Copper today in $2.87 per pound, making each pre-1983 penny worth 1.9 cents. So a roll of 50 is worth 95 cents for melt value.US "wheatie" pennies may also have collectible value, depending on the year of mintage, mint mark, if any, and most importantly, condition. If they are uncirculated (mint state - untouched by human hands, new looking) they are much more valuable. Those made before 1930 are almost all worth at least a few dollars, because they made very few in those days.If you mean Canadian pennies, which have a maple leaf on them, the answer would be different.no they do not so there
