Wonder if they're already being used as counterfeits..

I would say yes because I have actually pulled a few out of bank rolls over the years. I even got 2 or 3 of them in one 5 dollar batch. Can't remember what I did with them, but that was before I joined the site although I might have pulled one a year or two ago.
Buy rolls NOW while you still can!

But they cost more than real pennies, so who would buy them to use as counterfeits?

A review from 2015: "Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2015
Is anyone really stupid enough to buy 100 fake pennies for 568 real ones?"

In 2015 they were $5.68 and now in 2024 they are $6.99.
I guess inflation even affects plastic fake money.
