In most some cases, no. They are worth their face value of one cent unless they were minted from a rare lot. 1943 wheat pennies are somewhat rare because they are made of steel as an emergency wartime measure, to save the copper for radio wires. Some other wheat pennies have value if they are in good condition. An honest coin collector can tell you, but even if yours are not valuable you can still hold onto them for luck. There are some people who want to stop making pennies altogether, in which case their value will probably increase someday.
CorrectionsIt's not that simple. Some wheat cents from the 1920s and earlier can be worth considerable amounts of money depending on their date, mint mark, and condition while others can be quite inexpensive. For example, retail prices for a worn 1924 cent without a mint mark might be 10 to 15 cents, the same date with a D (Denver) mint mark could sell for $20!Also, copper was removed from cents in 1943 because it was needed for bullets and shell casings, not radio wires.
And finally, wheat cents were "regular" cents for fifty years because that was the only design minted from mid-1909 till the end of 1958.
