<p>[QUOTE=&quot;randall zink, post: 143222, member: 4809&quot;]Like some of you I have a thing for cents, I buy mine through ads on Craig&#039;s List. Seems most collectors just want silver and gold now and leave me alone hoarding cents. Here is a fact I saw on another site .</p><p>Here&#039;s some useless facts for you. There were around 24,821,413,990 *Wheaties produced between 1909 and 1958 including proofs..Close to 77% of that total was minted*AFTER *1940. A total of 8.148% were produced in the years between 1909 and 1919.* How do these numbers compare with todays production. Normal production of pennies today is between 8 and 10 billion a year(Let&#039;s average that to 9 billion).If the mint operates 365 days a year, it produces 24.65 million pennies per day.* and if it strikes coins*24 hours a day during that 365 day working period that will further break down to a little over one*million per hour or 17,123 per minute.*In other words, the mint will make that equivelent ammount of Memorials in 2 and a*half* to three. years.Speaking of three years,Remember... in 3 years,*the*Memorial design will be discontinued *because*in 2009, the Mint is going to introduce a new design penny[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
