To conserve copper for the war effort, cents were minted on zinc-coated steel planchets in 1943, but a few of the pre-war planchets were somehow overlooked and at least 12 copper cents were made and got into circulation.

How come you never see any 1972 British copper coins?
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.
How come a 1943 penny is worth so much?
It isn't. Normal 1943 pennies are worth 3-15 cents depending on condition because they are made out of steel and are collected even by non-collectors as curiosities. The only expensive 1943 pennies are the copper pennies which were made by mistake. When they turned on the machines to make the 1943 steel pennies, some copper blanks were left inside the machines and so a tiny amount of 1943 copper pennies were created by mistake. Since there might only be ~15 made, they are worth a lot. But an ordinary 1943 penny is only worth a few cents.

Old pennies are copper. Newer ones are mostly tin with a few other metals and copper plating on the outside. I don't know when they started changing it but I'm sure you could find out on the net with a little searching. I'm guessing somewhere in the 60's but that's just a guess.
