The 1943 penny was not made with copper, like all other years. Copper was funneled to the War Department so the 1943 penny was made from steel and other compounds.

A 1943 copper penny is known to be worth a lot of money,
1.7 Million dollars, that was what a collector recently paid for a 1943 copper penny made at the Denver mint, the only known 1943 copper penny struck there (keep in mind that the 1943 pennies were struck in steel, the copper 1943 pennies are errors).

1943. In 1943, to save copper for the war effort pennies were struck in zinc coated steel, however some copper blanks made their way into the press and were struck by accident, there are only a handful of known genuine examples of a copper 1943 penny and they can be worth in excess of 1 million dollars. However, steel 1943 pennies are incredibly common and are worth about 5 cents in circulated condition or a buck or two if uncirculated. An easy way to check if you have a steel or a copper penny is to hold a magnet up to it, the magnet will stick to the steel penny and not the copper penny.
I just read that they can be worth anywhere from 10,000 to 110,000 USD. Good luck!
Yes, but they are very very rare and worth a lot of money.
The 1943 penny sticks to a magnet because it is made of steel, not copper like other pennies from that era. While a 1943 copper penny is rare and valuable, it is not worth a million dollars. The most valuable 1943 pennies are those mistakenly struck in copper instead of steel and can fetch tens of thousands of dollars at auction.
