No. All pennies have Abraham Lincoln on their face. President Kennedy is on the 50 cent piece. There may be some novelty money that has people different from official government currency, but those do not count as " real " money. There have been coins where mistakes were made in manufacturing ( face pointing wrong way ) and those are collector items.

No, there is no penny that has President Kennedy on it. However, the 50 cent piece, which has a high percentage of silver in it, has President Kennedy on it.

There has been no officially authorized production of a United States Mint Cent with Kennedy's face on it. There was one in the past where a company was trying to make a correlation between Kennedy and Lincoln and added Kennedy's face opposite Lincoln's.
