They didn't. The last year the US Mint struck coins for another country was 1984 (except for the 1000 Kr Iceland coin for the 500th anniversary...
Same way, cast the zinc into ingots, roll the ingots out into strip, punch blanks for the strip, upset the edges of the blanks. Then barrel plate...
Eliminating the cent would have no effect on inflation because half the time it would also round down cancelling out the times it rounded up. The...

I have to wonder how restaurants handled rationing?
I still doubt it is double struck because I still see no evidence of a second strike on the reverse. If it was double struck without coming out...
