Odd Denominaton, Two Cent Coins, Three Cent Coins, Twenty Cent Coins, etc

Welcome to the home page for odd denominations of United States coins,

The history of the US xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

While the cent was first coined in 1793 by the US Mint, there were numerous cent/penny type coins produced by private mints. Those coins also have a rich history and can provide a coin collector with a good challenge.

The Cent has the distinction of many firsts in our history such as:

First coin to feature a real person (Lincoln Cent, 1909)
First denomination to exceed 1 million, 1 billion and 10 billion in production in a single year
Only coin to be produced in steel (one year in 1943 due to war time materials shortage)
