The purpose of stopping the production of pennies outweighs the reasons to keep the pennies. The pennies cost 2.4 cents just to be minted. The usage of pennies wastes actual time. The pennies cause safety hazards to small children and are not even accepted by all machines, vendors, and shops.

In 1797, approximately 3.5 million pennies (or cents) were minted in the United States. This was part of the early production of the large cent, which featured the design known as the "Liberty Cap." The 1797 mintage is notable for its relatively high production compared to other years in the late 18th century.
Pennies minted in San Francisco were produced during various years, primarily from 1931 to 1955. Notably, the San Francisco Mint struck pennies in 1943, when the U.S. was transitioning to wartime production and used zinc-coated steel for pennies. Additionally, there were special minting years for proof coins that were also produced in San Francisco.
The stopping distance at 55 mph varies based on factors like vehicle type, road conditions, and braking efficiency. On average, it takes about stopping distance of stopping distance of 200-250 feet to come to a complete stop, which includes both the reaction distance (the distance traveled while the driver reacts) and the braking distance. If you consider a reaction time of about 1.5 seconds, this adds roughly 120 feet to the total stopping distance.
The cost of producing pennies in the United States often exceeds their face value, leading to debates about their continued production. As of recent estimates, the U.S. Mint spends about 1.5 cents to produce a single penny, resulting in a loss of millions of dollars annually. Overall, the total expenditure on pennies each year can be in the range of tens of millions to over a hundred million dollars, factoring in production costs and distribution.

No, polonium is not found in pennies. Pennies are made primarily of copper and zinc, with a small amount of nickel. Polonium is a highly radioactive element not used in coin production.
No
Canada stopped producing pennies in 2012 due to the rising cost of production and declining usage of the coin.
The highest mintage year for pennies in the United States was 1943. During that year, over 1.1 billion pennies were produced, primarily due to the need for copper for wartime materials, leading to the production of steel pennies instead. This high production was a result of increased demand during World War II.

Money, or the lack of it.
Even though production was discontinued, there hasn't been a corresponding spike in value. There are still millions and millions of Canadian pennies in existence.
