How many years will it take to save 1 billion pennies?
Well, you need to grasp the concept of just how big a billion is. Did you know that 1 Billion seconds is equivalent to over 31 and a half years. So even if you saved one penny every second, it would still take you 31 years! In reality it is not likely there anything like that number of pennies in circulation, but in theory it would take you a very long time.
What is normal size of pennies 15 years old?
15 year old pennies are essentially the same size as those minted today. You'd have to go back to 1857 to find pennies that were significantly larger.
How long do coins last?
It depends very much on what the coins are made of and how much use they get in comparison to other denominations. For example, in the US pennies tend to stay in circulation for about 10 or 15 years on average, but because they're low-value they tend to be stuck away in drawers, lost on the streets, etc. Quarters are more valuable but get a lot of use so they also tend to disappear from circulation after about 15 or 20 years, although it's not unusual to find some from the 1960s. The new brass $1 coins get less use and are expected to stay in circulation for 30 to 50 years. It also depends on the coin's design. When designs are changed some people begin to save the older designs so those coins may disappear from circulation a bit faster. By contrast, before England switched to the decimal system their penny had essentially the same obverse (front) design for well over a century. Nothing special stood out and old ones stayed in circulation, sometimes for 75 or 80 years.

What does a proof penny look like?
If it has not been handled, it will be bright and undamaged. Since they are struck on polished blanks several times with controlled pressure (coins for circulation are struck more in the manner of hitting it with a hammer) they should have reflective fields (empty space around the design) and well-defined details. Some years can be identified simply by an "S" mintmark because no circulation coins were struck in San Francisco.
What is the value of a nickel minted in San Francisco?

How long do US coins remain in circulation?
it lasts about a few hundred years or so onNot really ...According to the US Mint, most American coins stay in circulation for about 30 to 50 years. Pennies get more use and are more likely to be lost or put away in jars due to their low value, so they go out of circulation somewhat faster.Other countries have had different experiences. For example, England used the same size and similar design of its pennies for about 250 years and fewer Britons collect coins, so some of their pennies stayed in circulation for a century or more.Of course when coins are replaced (e.g. modern British decimal pennies replaced the old ones in 1971, euros replaced marks/francs/lira/etc. in 2002, and so on) the lifespan of those older coins can be quite short.
What years were the old one penny struck?
It would depend on your definition of "old". If you refer to British decimal Pennies, the only year they have not been struck for general circulation was 1972, but there were 1972 Proof Pennies struck. If you refer to British predecimal Pennies, they have been predecimal Pennies in circulation since the late 9th century AD. To keep it manageable we will only look at 20th century Pennies. Pennies were not struck in 1923, 1924, 1925, 1941, 1942, 1943 and 1955 to 1960 inclusive. To be entirely fair, there were 1933, 1952 and 1954 Pennies struck, but they were struck as "pattern" or "proof" coins in very small quantities ranging from 1 to maybe 8 coins. These are considered extremely rare if not unique, and are locked up in various collections or museums.
