The closest thing will be a penny made since 1982; it is 97.6% zinc with a copper plating.
Zinc is used to galvinize nails and metal roofs (but is not pure).

Zinc anodes are buried in the ground for cathodic protection by the utility companies.
The interior of pennys these days are essentially zinc as well, i think.
