The penny is a coin worth one [[cent]]. It was made primarily of [[copper]] until 1982, and is now made primarily of [[zinc]]. In 1943, pennies were made of [[steel]], since copper was needed for [[World War II|the war]]. The US penny currently features [[Abraham Lincoln]] on the obverse side, and the [[Lincoln Memorial]] on the reverse. The penny is copper color, one of the few coins that is not silver. It is also smooth along the circumference of the coin, lacking the ridges that many other coins have.
