The United States stopped making pennies out of precious metal in 1982. Prior to that, pennies were primarily made of copper, but due to rising copper prices, the composition was changed to mostly zinc with a thin copper plating. Since then, the penny has been composed of 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper.
