I'm trying to figure out which year's penny is considered illegal to own. I've heard some rumors about certain pennies being illegal and I want to make sure I don't have any of those in my collection.

    Despite their uniqueness, the Mint stated that both types of cents had the same legal status.

    On September 9, 1994, the Mint made an announcement regarding the legal status of certain Lincoln cents.

    The announcement focused on Experimental 1974 Lincoln cents that were struck on bronze-clad steel planchets.
