US Coins
United States Coin Collecting
US Coins were first produced in 1792 when the US government established the first mint at Philadelphia. Since that time many different varieties and denominations of United States coins have been produced by the U.S. Mint.
Present day United States coins produced for circulation include the penny (1 cent), nickel (5 cent), dime (10 cent), quarter dollar (25 cent), half dollar (50 cent) and dollar coins.

Besides the coins now in circulation, there were also half cents, two cent pieces, and three cent pieces. 20 cent pieces were also made for four years, from 1875 to 1878.
Bullion and Commemorative Coins are also minted today by the United States Mint.
