Cents since 1982 are mostly zinc with a thin shell of bronze. They'll rot badly if compromised with a hole.

I've never seen/heard anyone refer to them as cents referring to the physical coin rather than the value and calling the coin a penny

If you want to be pedantic, the use of cents in that way is incorrect.

But it makes so much sense!
