The price of copper has risen significantly since 1977, so if you have one of these pennies in good condition and it was minted before 1982, it could be worth some extra money. Before 1982, pennies were made from 95% copper and 5% zinc; after 1982 they were made from 97.5% zinc with 2.5% copper plating. Copper pennies dated 1982 or later are worth about 3 cents each because they have little intrinsic (actual) value beyond their face values as coins.

If your copper penny was issued between 1959 and 1982, it might be valuable enough to sell at auction or through an online service such as eBay (which charges fees).
