| | Penny (U.S. coin) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Until 1857 it was about the size of the current half-dollar coin. | | | The only significant divergence is that the "3" was non-descending (the same size as a "0", "1", or "2") in the early history, before switching to descending for one year in 1934 and then permanently (as of 2004) in 1943. | | | In 1943, at the peak of World War II, pennies 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. |

| | This coin was popular among American colonists, who called it the Spanish dollar, the name having derived from a German coin of similar size and composition known as the thaler. | | | The Susan B. Anthony dollar coin was introduced in 1979; these proved to be unpopular because they were often mistaken for quarters, thanks to their nearly-equal size, their milled edge, and their similar color. | | | U.S. dollar banknotes have been printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for the Federal Reserve since 1914. |

| | U.S. coin denominations used in the past were the half-cent, two-cent, three-cent, and 20-cent pieces, as well as a small silver coin called a half-dime. | | | Other coin denominations in common use today are the 25-cent, 10-cent, five-cent, and one-cent pieces, familiarly known as the quarter, dime, nickel, and penny. | | | Dropped from the nickel in 1883, the phrase reappeared on the nickel in 1938. |

| | The Straight Dope: Does it make sense to keep minting pennies? |
| | The arguments in favor of retaining the penny are weak, arising from the same wellspring of nostalgia and we've-always-done-it-this-way inertia that's hindered conversion to the metric system. | | | But in the 30s a penny was worth the equivalent of today's dime; in the 50s it was worth today's nickel. | | | In a 1989 Atlantic article one penny advocate claimed, "Get rid of [the penny] and nothing will cost less than a nickel." Baloney. |

| | Grading coins : It is most practical for the coin to be exposed to a regular 100 Watt lamp, or a 20 watt halogen desk top lamp, 3 feet away from the coin surface. | | | If you have found, inherited or purchased a coin in the past, the values have increased dramatically over the past few years, largely due to the release of newer types of coins (even the new ones are already suprisingly quite valuable) The older style coins always gain in value when they go out of production. | | | While I can not guarantee that your coin is worth a fortune, I can guarantee you that if you will follow my advice, you will get the fair market price or better for the coins when you sell them. |

| | Olympus MIC-D: Reflected Light Gallery - Penny |
| | Eventually, in 1919, the initials were miniaturized and placed on the face of the coin, below the bevel of the bust. | | | So much criticism hit then-President William Taft over the inclusion of the sculptor's, Victor David Brenner (VDB), initials on the back of the coin, that he had to order the removal of all initials except the "B". | | | The penny has evolved from being composed of pure copper, to copper-plated zinc, to the current version of the "copper penny" that is 98 percent zinc. |

| | Many art aficionados believe the “Liberty” design, on this coin, was an adaptation of the winged “Liberty” utilized on the “Sherman Monument.” An African-American artist’s model named Hettie Anderson posed for the “Liberty” design. | | | The mint manufactured almost half a million gold coins dated 1933, but the government supposedly never released them, and maintained ownership as illegal. | | | Only this one coin could be sold legally, and the U.S. government would split the proceeds of the auction 50/50 with the owning rare coin dealer. |

| | Drawing attention to its several features, Johnson said, "Although this new design is similar in layout to the well-loved Lincoln cent, any comparisons to that venerated coin will likely end there." | | | In 1943, the United States Mint began production of the "Steel Penny," as part of a domestic effort to free up copper for the Allied war effort. | | | Perhaps in time, this coin -- also unattractive -- will come to symbolize similar values, though in a different way." |
