Probably yes. If you measured the width of a penny and then sliced it down the exact middle, the two sides would be equal in weight only if the total volumes of the designs on each side matched. Possible but very unlikely.

If you have 12 pennies and 1 penny a dud. you have 3 tries to weight the pennies and find the odd penny.?

Assuming the dud penny is lighter than a true penny. Using balance scales, pick 6 pennies at random and put them on one side of the scale and put the remaining 6 on the other side. Take the 6 pennies from the low side of the balance scales and put them aside. They are all good pennies.Take the 6 pennies from the light (high) side (the dud penny is among these 6), and separate them ramdomly into two stacks of 3 pennies each and place a stack on the left side and a stack on the right side.Take the three pennies from the low side again and set them aside since all these are "good" pennies. Of the 3 remaining pennies, two are good (heavy) and one is dud (too light).Of these remaining 3, take one and put it on the left side of the scale and put another on the right side of the scale, and hold the third penny in your hand. If the left side of the scale balances with the right then the dud penny is the one you're holding. If the left side is higher than the right then the bad penny in the one on the left side. If the right side is higher than the left, the penny on the right side is the bad penny.If it is unknown if the dud penny is lighter than a true penny or heavier than a true penny, this solution is not a solution.

Is heads good luck on a penny?

No. If you flip a penny (or any other standard coin) a lot of times, on average you'll get heads half the time and tails half the time so neither side is luckier than the other.
