What Year were pennies made out of rifle casings?
US cents were never made out of rifle casings themselves, but they were made from shell casings during 1944 and 1945. These coins were of course called "shell-casing cents".In 1943 the Mint struck cents in plated steel to save copper for use in ammunition. The steel coins were unsatisfactory in almost every way - they were confused with dimes when new, after a while they either rusted or turned an ugly gray, they didn't always work in vending machines, etc., etc. As the war turned in favor of the Allies there was so much spent ammunition that the government was able to divert some of the scrap for use in coins, so starting in 1944 coinage of bronze cents resumed.
How can you tell if a 1944 penny is made of steel?
You can tell if a 1944 penny is made of steel by using a magnet. Place a magnet near the penny - if it sticks, then the penny is made of steel. Steel pennies were issued in 1943 due to a shortage of copper, so any 1944 penny made of steel would be an error.

Why will the real 1943 penny stick to amagnet but a real 1944 penny will not?

Why are pennies made with copper shells?
They aren't anymore. "Shell-case" cents were only made in 1944 and 1945 when the government had to dispose of huge numbers of casings that had been used for ammunition in WW2. The shell casings were melted down and alloyed into bronze for use in pennies.Starting in 1946 normal mined copper, tin, and zinc were used. In mid-1982 the composition was changed to 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper because copper had become too expensive.
How do you know if your 1944 wheat penny is steel?
