There were no British 1/2p, 1p or 2p general circulation coins struck in 1972 because so many 1971 dated pieces had been struck to facilitate decimalisation. However, regular issues resumed in 1973. The only copper/bronze British 1972 coins that were struck were Proof FDC coins.

1972 d Eisenhower pewter dollar?

What is a 1972 Kennedy dollar made of?

It's either not JFK or not a dollar. JFK is on the half dollar. President Eisenhower was on the dollar in 1972. Regardless, it's made of the same material as all other clad coins. It has outer layers of 25% nickel and 75% copper bonded to a core of 100% copper. If you have one in circulated condition, it is only worth face value.
