The United States Mint produced lead pennies in 1792, during the early years of American coinage. However, these lead coins were never widely circulated and were primarily used for experimental purposes. The first official copper pennies, known as the "Fugio cents," were minted in 1787, but the lead pennies are more of a historical curiosity.
