The first standard-issue US "pennies" (actually they're cents) were Large Cents struck in 1793. They were about the size of half-dollars.
Modern small cents were introduced in 1856. They were never made of pure copper; at various times they were made of copper-nickel, bronze, steel, and (today) copper-plated zinc.
