As with most questions about black holes, there's not really a simple answer to that.

In practice, if you dropped an actual clock (or any other material object) into a black hole, tidal forces would tear it apart long before it reached the event horizon, let alone the singularity.

From the point of view of an outside observer (which is what I assume you're interested in), the clock would appear to be running slow before it was torn apart. If we imagine a magic clock with infinite tensile strength, it would appear to get slower and slower as it approached the event horizon, and would finally stop just as it reached the horizon.

What happens if you throw a clock in a black hole?

If you were to throw a clock into a black hole, the extreme gravitational pull would distort the perception of time on the clock. As the clock approaches the black hole's event horizon, time would appear to slow down for an observer outside the black hole. Eventually, the clock's information would be lost beyond the event horizon.

The penny will be gone. You will also be gone with it, because getting close enough to a black hole to drop a penny inside it will catch you in its gravity well.
