The summer issue of the United States Mint H.I.P. Pocket
Change™ newsletter called
Making
Cents is out! Just go to Coin News or click the link here to read
it. You've seen some of this quarter's information in other issues of
Coins Online, but that's good; it will be that much easier for you
to do the summer crossword puzzle at the end of
Making Cents! Most
of the clues refer to words used in the articles.
Engraver James Longacre's Indian Head design held its
place on the one-cent coin for quite a while (about 50 years). Of course,
the well-known Lincoln design has been with us almost twice as long, but
the older design is still worth a good look...and that's just what Flip
the Mint Seal guides us through in August's
Coin
of the Month . Join Flip for the story behind the coin.
Question: How many denominations of
American coins are no longer produced?
Answer: In
addition to our current six coin denominations (one cent; five, ten,
twenty-five, and fifty cents; and one dollar), there are another five
denominations that we no longer make or use by law: one half cent, two
cents, three cents (in a silver and a nickel version), one half dime, and
twenty cents.
