Blank Coins - no Stamp

I recently came across a penny in pocket change. It was definately a penny blank. It wasn't stamped on either side. Does anyone know how common this is. I haven't yet checked the weight to determen if it's copper or zinc.
I'm interested in U.S. cents

    The mint was giving them away for free this year. I got some at Baltimore.

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
