According to an article in the Oregonian sometime early last year,
the 1-cent coin is minted solely for use as small change.  The law
does not require that anyone, with the possible exception of a banking
institution, must accept more than some small number of pennies.
I don't recall exactly but I think it is in the range of 12 to 25 cents.
