<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 940606, member: 11521&quot;]The Mint uses many hundreds, if not thousands, of dies every year to produce cent coins. Dies wear out with use or become damaged. Depending on a lot of factors (e.g., the coin being struck - its metal content, its size, its design -the number of coins the die strikes, the care taken by the press operator in keeping the dies in good condition, etc.) a set of dies my last a few hours, a day or more, but certainly not an entire year (except for VERY low mintage issues).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
