Current price of copper, that may not be as little as you’re thinking.
(no, I have NO idea if copper is selling low or high right now, but I grew up where it mattered a lot, and “price of copper” was the number one excuse for politicians and honchos for not doing the right thing.)
The penny was cancelled here in Canada. When making purchases, the total is either rounded down or up. Of course with plastic it makes no difference what the total is.
A hundred dollars worth of pennies is still a hundred dollars… And the little old lady in front of me in the grocery store will use them to pay for her order.

“Pennies” only have 2.5% copper, the rest is zinc.

At first, they were all worthless – originally none of them had any cents.
They all have some worth now – now they all have some cents.
Some have more cents than others. So … some are worth more and some are worth less.
