<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 3222179, member: 78298&quot;]In 1944 about 39 left over steel planchets from the 3 mints (from the year before) minted coins that were supposed to be copper. I don&#039;t believe any steel cents from any other years (besides 1943, 1944) have been discovered.</p><p>While it is possible another steel cent could turn up, but it would probably be in the 1944/1945 area.</p><p>Yours is a damaged cent, worth .01. Unless it was coined on the same sized foreign planchet, but most foreign coins are different in size and weight from US coins. So lower valued foreign coins can&#039;t be substituted for US coins.</p><p>Now, the exceptions are Panama and the Bahamas. Whose money is ALWAYS 1:1 with the US and most of their coins are the same size and weight as US coins.</p><p>Weigh the coin. If it weighs 3.1 grams, it&#039;s a penny that has been plated, in a school science experiment. Or just for laughs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
