Current estimates by the U.S. Mint place the number of pennies in circulation at around 140 billion. Others have estimated as many as 200 billion currently circulating. Since the first penny was minted in 1787, until present-day, over 300 billion pennies have been minted in the United States. So that leaves about 100 billion pennies that have been retired by the Mint, lost down sewer drains, stored in jars, smashed by trains, or collected by numismatists in the past 200 years.

That is unknown. There have been pennies for century's. There has been talk of doing away with the penny, it cost more than it is worth. I think that they should just change the value to two cents. This would solve the value problem and the only change that you could not give is one cent or three cents.
