1944 cents were made from the same alloy as most other cents at the time, a mixture of 95% copper and 5% zinc.
MoreWhat we normally call "copper" pennies were actually bronze. They were 95% copper, but depending on prices and availability the other 5% was made up of varying amounts of tin and/or zinc.1944 and 1945 bronze cents are unusual in that the copper for their minting came from recycled ammunition casings, so they're sometimes called "shell case" pennies.
