These where used to mint Copper [bronze] cents again. The US Mint was ready to make &quot;Steel&quot; cents for another year. The general public complained that the steel cents looked to much like the dime, and did not like them. The remaining blank Steel Cent Planchets where given/sold to Belgium to mint a 2 Franc coin.
