It is true, but only special issues that you can buy from the mint. So don't expect to get any for face unless somebody accidently dumps a few into general circulation.
Just remember that people sometimes do not so smart things, like break open an uncirculated set and spend the coins. While the chance of a copper 2009 ending up in circulation is remote, it isn't impossible.
Any ideas as to how much 1 copper penny would be from the mint or will they come in rolls? With their shipping price of $4.95 per order might be a bit much for 1 roll of pennies.

That sure would be nice just to go out and buy a box of coppers for face but that wont happen. I just cant wait to see what some of the first boxes of the pennies bring on ebay

I cant wait to get some! I want them now!
Copper ones would be nice, but I think it will be the zinc that will be worth the most. Made for general circulation, the first year of a design, could be the last year for the zinc cent...all these factors add up

I have never figured out how items that will be mass produced by the MILLIONS, including "last year" zinc coins, can ever have any sustained collectible value. They'll be like beanie babies: yesterday's rage & tomorow's garage sale cast offs.
