Yes, in 1947, the U.S. government reportedly dumped a large quantity of steel pennies into the ocean. These pennies, produced during World War II when copper was scarce, were not well-received by the public and were eventually deemed unnecessary. The decision to dispose of them in this manner was part of a larger effort to manage surplus coins. However, the exact details and quantities remain somewhat unclear.
