All pennies since 1983 are made almost entirely of zinc, covered with a thin coating of copper. Therefore, what you have is either a zinc penny that did not get its copper coating (worth abuot a dollar), or a normal penny that has been silver plated (no added value). You should be able to determine this by weight. A normal penny will weigh 2.5 grams. So if yours weighs less, then it's missing its copper coating. If it weighs more, then it's been silver plated.

Does a dime weigh less than a penny?
Yes, according to the United States Mint website (link found below) the penny weighs 2.5 grams while the dime weighs 2.268 grams.MoreThe reason dates back to the 1850s when coins contained their face value in metal. At that time cents were converted from pure copper to cupro-nickel and then to bronze, while dimes were made of 90% silver. Even then silver was far more valuable than bronze so dimes had to contain less metal and were smaller than cents. Unlike most other countries the US didn't change its coins' sizes when silver was removed in the 1960s so dimes remain smaller than both cents and nickels.
What force causes a leaf to fall more slowly than a penny?
We know that air resistance (or atmospheric drag) is what causes a leaf to fall more slowly than a penny. A large leaf that weighs a much as a penny has a much greater surface area than the penny, and all this surface area means that the leaf has more drag. Though the leaf and penny will be accelerated by the same amount of force (because they have the same mass), the leaf will present all that surface area to the air, and this will set up a condition of high drag.
