A quarter never had 25 cents worth of copper in it. Quarters used to be made of roughly 25 cents worth of silver, but are now made of mostly copper due to cost reasons. The fact remains that a quarter is still worth 25 cents, and if you should so wish you could go and buy 25 cents worth of copper with it (a little more than two ounces of copper). Sorry I ment to say a quarter used to have 25 cents worth of silver in it now it has 2 cents worth of copper are you getting ripped off? I will reenter the question. Thanks.
Solid copper pennies weren't made after the 60's.

Quarters from 1983 are still worth 25 cents.

If you refer to the scrap value of the copper, there is no copper in British "copper" coins these days.
A 1944 copper misprint wheat penny is worth 1,000,000 dollars.
The molds are worth more than the value of the copper (provided they are indeed antique) so don't scrap them.

It's worth 2 cents for the copper.
By 1985, U.S. pennies were copper-plated zinc. It's worth one cent.
If it's a genuine 1943 copper cent, it's worth no less than $10,000. That said, most copper 1943 cents are counterfeits.
A 1942 copper penny is worth between $0.15 and $3.00. If you have a 1943 copper penny it is worth a lot more. In 1943 because of the war and the need for copper pennies in that year were made from steel. Steel pennies from 1943 are worth around $0.30 and $2.50. If you have a real 1943 copper penny take it to a coin shop or dealer and have them check it out to see if it is real.
A penny.
