Everyone forgets to mention penny contract of the Colonial Empire one sent contract 1 contract in for a penny in for a pound in for one cent and in for a dollar It's a bit like Jesus doing all the Miracles mentioning everything else and leaving out Jesus dealing with corruption and gambling in Colosseum then came the new Muhammadin another Messenger credit notes that he gave out and and insuring himself that many people would not return leaving their belongings with him and his companions companies interesting facts when women was given maiden name maiden name meaning married name also meaning someone who makes a name up willy-nilly what will happen when people learn the truth regarding what you call Jesus in your hand the gobi Desert fascinating interesting of a terracotta Army god territorial

For those seeking silver in their 'pocket change: brbrThe last US coins struck and released for circulation with any silver content at all were the Half Dollars (only) dated 1965 through 1970 which were a 'silver clad' composition with net 40 pure silver Pre - 1965 US Dollars, Half Dollars, Quarter Dollars, and Dimes were 90 silver, 10 copper brbrPost - 1964 'copper nickel clad' coinage consists of a pure copper core sandwiched between outer layers of 75 copper, 25 nickel which is the same alloy used on the Three Cent 'Nickel' of 1865 - 1889 and for the Five Cent 'Nickel' since its introduction in 1866 with exception of the WW2 era 'War Nickels' which had no nickel in them at all brbrThe composition of US five cent coins changed in mid - 1942 brSome 1942 five cent coins from Philadelphia and all from San Francisco, as well as all dated 1943 through 1945 were struck on planchets of 56 copper, 35 silver, 9 manganese and were identified by large mint marks above the dome of Monticello including first use of the 'P' mark for Philadelphia

The first US Dollars were struck from 1794 through 1803, though they were never minted in sufficient quantity for commerce, nor were any of the coins produced in the first decades of US Mint operation brThe mintage of US Dollars for 1840, the year production resumed, was only 61,005 coins The highest mintage up to 1873, after which production again paused, was just over one million in 1872 with some years as low as 1,100 coins (1852) US Half Dollars were often held by banks, along with Spanish Dollars, to back certificates of deposit and their own privately issued banknotes It was not until passage of the Bland - Allison Act that production of US 'Silver Dollars' was thrust into high gear in 1878 with well over twelve million of the new 'Morgan' design coined in that year alone Morgans were minted through 1904 and again in 1921 for a total of over 650 million of the coins, most of which were stored at the US Treasury as backing for Silver Certificates or held by private banks as one silver dollar contained slightly more silver than did two halves, four quarters, or ten dimes Dollars of a new 'Peace' design continued to be produced for circulation from 1921 through 1935 brSilver Certificates, first issued in 1878, joined the US Notes that had been in production since 1862 and Gold Certificates issued since 1863 as currency issued by the United States The first issue of US currency ('paper money') by the post - revolution U S had been the 1861 Demand Notes issued to outfit troops and finance operations for the War between the States br br brIn the Southwestern US, Mexican minted 'Spanish' coins were more commonly found than US coinage until well after the 'Civil War' Remember, the present Southwestern US was Spanish territory and then Mexico until 1848 brProduction of Gold Certificates ended in 1934, Silver Certificates in 1964, US Notes in 1971, leaving only the production of Federal Reserve Notes which have been issued since 1914 brThe last US coinage issued for circulation to have any 'precious metal' content were the Half Dollars dated 1965 through 1971 which were struck on 'silver clad' planchets with a net fine silver content of 40 (400 fine), which can still be found at banks

The 'Mercury Dime' is actually a misnomerbrDesigned by AA Weinman, who also designed the 'Walking Liberty Half Dollar', the dime depicted a figure of Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap with wings to represent freedom of thought It was not the Greek god Mercury which would have winged shoesbrbrThe 1916 and early 1917 Standing Liberty Quarter Dollars showed a bare breasted liberty, clad in chain mail from mid 1917 onward The 1916 were not minted until the last week of December resulting in a very low mintage They are quite valuable

The Two Cent Bronze of 1864 - 1872 (and 'proof only' 1873) was, incidentally, the first coin to bear the iIn God We Trust/i mottobrThey have origins in the Civil War coin shortages that also brought about the bronze cent of reduced thickness and copper nickel three and five cent coinsbrAs they are generally collected only as type coins a complete set of 'circulation' Two Cent Bronzes can be had in VF grade at a relatively modest cost with the 1872 being the expensive one All were minted at PhiladelphiabrThe 1864 'Small Motto', also pricey, is technically a pattern coin and the 1873 was only minted as proof coinage

Other fields of interest in US coinage are Commemoratives and Pattern Coinage not struck for general circulation

The current 'Golden Dollars' are not smaller than the Susan B Anthony, they are the same size

The United States has never minted a Penny, they were British brThe Coinage Act of 1792 established, among other things, a unique quasi - decimal system of United States coinage based on the Spanish Dollar, which enjoyed full legal tender status through 1857 brThe US Dollar was divided decimally as Cent (01), Dime (010) Dollar (10) and Eagle (10) brAs the Spanish Dollar was divided into eight Reales, or 'bits', the US Mint would include Half Dollar, Quarter Dollar, and Half Cent coins to accommodate ready exchange (One Real = twelve and a half cents) brA Half Dime was also included, as were Half and Quarter Eagle brThe coins originally specified and minted were: brGold - Eagle (10), Half Eagle (05) Quarter Eagle (25) brSilver - Dollar brSubsidiary Silver - Half Dollar (50), Quarter Dollar (25), Dime (10) Half Dime (05) brCopper - Cent (01), Half Cent (005) brThere was no provision for 'paper money' (currency)

Good primer, but with a few errors

Three Cent coins were distributed through US Post Offices as it was the common postal rate at the time During the 'Civil War', silver and gold coinage vanished from circulation and people resorted to use of postage stamps for small changebrAs raggedy used stamps were being turned in for new ones, causing nuisance, the Three and Five Cent 'Nickels' (75 copper, 25 nickel) were issued beginning in 1865 and 1866, respectively Three Cent Silver and Silver Half Dimes were minted concurrently, though in ever decreasing numbersbrThe Civil War coin shortage also resulted in issuance of Fractional Currency notes of three to fifty cents
Comment from : -oiiio-

The 1792 Half Dismes were pattern coinsbrThe first Half Dimes minted for circulation were 1794

Zinc coated steel cents were only minted in 1943 with the rare 1944 struck on the wrong planchet You won’t find any from 1945 or 1946
Comment from : Sean Grimm

I've been going through my pocket change for about 55 years and have found so many memorable coins, and I'm sure many of us could share stories I had wished to pass on my collection to my kids, but sadly, one passed and the other could "care less" about coins I really wanted to pass these along to the next generation Maybe I'll still have an opportunity to - I think it's important for one generation to pass along coins to the next - it's a fantastic gift and that's beyond all of the silver value
