They really aren't. When a coin first comes out in the year, there is a rush for collectors to buy them for their collection or as birthday/Christmas gifts for people. Because of this, generally the current year is "worth" more than the previous year because most of the coin collectors have already gotten the previous year's coins but might not have the current year's coins. It is a temporary increase and when the 2012 coins start coming out, the 2011 coins will not be worth a premium any more.

Why are 1967 pennies worth more than 1966 pennies?

Because there are no 1967 pennies. Decimal currency started in 1966.Actually, 1966 pennies should be worth more than 1967 pennies as a 1967 penny would be a fake.CorrectionThis question was posted in US Coins so it refers to US 1-cent pieces by their slang name. It's actually a rather lame joke. The answer is (ba DING!) "1,967 pennies are worth $19.67 which is one cent more than $19.66"
