Most modern pennies or cents have almost no copper in them, no matter what country issues them. The reason is that copper now sells for about $4/lb so a 1-cent copper coin would contain much more than one cent's worth of metal. Today, US cents are made of zinc plated with copper; Canadian cents and British pennies are made of steel plated with copper. US "copper" cents were actually bronze, which is an alloy of copper with tin and/or zinc added. Bronze cents were discontinued in mid-1982 when the price of copper rose steeply.
