I have found 18 1992 D Yellow or Gold Penny in a box of penny from the bank.
I found these penny going through the rolls of penny in the box.
Do you have any information regarding these penny

Answer Vito,
Your coins have been "baked".
The coins are made from almost all zinc, with a thin outer copper layer. When heated up hot enough, a chemical reaction between the two metals will cause the coin to turn yellow or golden colored.
However, now considered altered, they have no collector value.
