Penny Question

This might sound like a terribly odd question. But are pennies constructed of more than one piece? I mean do they stamp the image into a piece of metal or is it two pieces "snapped" (for lack of a better word) together?

The reason I ask is the other day at work, I got a penny back with my change, and the penny didn't have a face side. Basically I got half a penny. The piece I got is very thin with a metal rim. The outside is standard penny color of course and the inside is silvery metal.

I know little to nothing about coins and would appreciate any clarification on this.
