Pre 1982 and some 1982 cent coins are mostly copper. Copper is a commodity traded on a daily basis si the actual price changes daily. An old copper penny has about 3 cents of copper in it, but before you rush down to melt all those copper cents you need to know that congress by law has made it isillegalto do so.
