| | Cent (United States coin) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In 1943, at the peak of World War II, cents of zinc-plated steel were made for a short time due to war demands for copper; a few (the U.S. Mint reports forty) copper cents from 1943 were produced. | | | Until 1857 it was about the size of the current half-dollar coin. | | | The coin has gone through several designs over its two-hundred year history. |

| | The diameters of the 50 cents and 1 dollar coins were reduced at this time to lengthen die life, since nickel is a much harder metal than silver. | | | Every coin produced that year featured a creature that is native to Canadaâa rock dove on the 1 cent, a rabbit on the 5 cents, a mackerel on the 10 cents, a bobcat on the 25 cents, a howling wolf on the 50 cents, and a Canada goose on the dollar. | | | The accession of King George VI in 1937 marked a complete redesign of the coin reverses to the well-known current circulating designsâa maple twig on the 1 cent, a beaver on the 5 cents, a schooner on the 10 cents, a caribou on the 25 cents, and a coat of arms on the 50 cents. |

Anthony dollar coins. | | | Furthermore, the coins' inscriptions do not follow a consistent pattern of describing the value in cents: "One Cent" (penny), "Five Cents" (nickel) "One Dime" (dime, worth 10 cents), "Quarter Dollar" (quarter, worth 25 cents), and "Half Dollar" (worth 50 cents); knowledge of these terms is required for visitors. |
