I'd have to include another 30 seconds to unlock my phone and search something like "is 1956 penny worth anything", then another 20 seconds for disappointed reflecting.

You just need to remember the silver cutoff dates on silver coins. Pennies are only worthwhile if they aren't a Lincoln penny. Even the commemorative pennies with the centennial backs of Lincoln are like a dollar mint for the whole set. Wheat pennies and stuff like that should be obvious just looking at the penny.
