The 1944 steel penny, also known as the 1944 steel cent, is a rare coin produced during World War II when copper was needed for the war effort. Most of the 1944 pennies were made from copper, but a small number were mistakenly struck on steel planchets leftover from 1943. As of now, only a few dozen of these steel 1944 pennies are known to exist, making them extremely rare and highly sought after by collectors. Thus, they are not in circulation today.
