Penny is the common name for the smallest denomination non fractional coin. In US coinage that would be the one cent coin. There have been six major types of large cents in the US from 1793 to 1857. Then the small cent began with the flying eagle cent 1856-1858, the Indian head 1859-1909. Then the Lincoln head from 1909 to present. Now if your question is what kinds of metals are they made of that's another question.

In general, there are two main types of pennies: the Lincoln penny, which features an image of Abraham Lincoln on the front, and the Wheat penny, which was minted from 1909 to 1958 and features two stalks of wheat on the back. Additionally, there are variations such as the Indian Head penny, Flying Eagle penny, and Steel penny that were minted for limited periods.
