I believe that both copper and copper plated zinc cents were
made in 1982.

What I find interesting is the fact that the mint switched over to zinc
because they were worried about copper prices, and now
copper prices are at there lowest point since the 30's in
inflation adjusted terms.

Get rid of the cent and round everything to the nearest nickel.
