When the original coinage act was passed, the United States minted "cents" (1/100 of a dollar), never pennies. This was one rebellion against the British government. Britain did mint pennies. While many call the "cents" "pennies"; as far as I am aware, the coinage authorization still authorizes cents. Obviously, in the case of the link, also the US Mint. Maybe the mint is just "going with the flow".
