<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 371747, member: 12965&quot;]The US made pennies of copper (95%) in 1941 and 1942, and partially from old shell casings in 1944 and 1945 (so the copper content may have been slightly lower in those years). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So the 1944 &amp; 1945 pennies had a lower percentage of copper in them but it was not low enough to call them brass pennies and zinc never came into the picture. The write-up about zinc came from the current copper coated zinc pennies and the so called &quot;brass&quot; pennies being marketed by someone else.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
