<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 862935, member: 22143&quot;]In case you didn&#039;t know, the 1975 coin is made from copper.&nbsp; In 1982 they switched to a cheaper zinc alloy.&nbsp;&nbsp; The &#039;82 coins can be either metal and they best way to tell is to weigh them.&nbsp; After &#039;82 they are all zinc unless it it was minted as a collector&#039;s coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The design you have lasted for 50 years.&nbsp; In 2009 there were 4 special pennies minted to celebrate Lincoln&#039;s life, and starting in 2010, there is a new penny design that will be used for the next 50 years.&nbsp; (the reverse is changed)</p><p><br /></p><p>In the UK, you might want to look around for the WWII years of these coins.&nbsp; I suspect that millions probably made their way during that period.&nbsp;&nbsp; Some of these coins were made of steel instead of copper due to the metal shortages, and can be pretty valuable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
