Here's how you would use pronouns with pennies:
* If you're talking about a specific group of pennies: "I found some pennies in the couch cushions. They were all dated 1998." (Here, "they" refers to the specific pennies you found)
* If you're talking about pennies in general: "Pennies are the smallest US coin. They are made of copper." (Here, "they" refers to pennies in general)
You can also use the pronoun "it" if you are referring to the penny as a singular unit of currency: "I dropped a penny, and it rolled under the table."
