In 1943, during World War II, copper became very limited due to the war effort. Therefore, pennies were made of steel. A 1943 steel penny that's copper plated, takes on the appearance of a regular copper penny and can be used with a magnet for special effects

P.S. If you come across a real copper 1943 penny, you can buy a house or two !.
