<p>[QUOTE=&quot;expat, post: 5359764, member: 111067&quot;]I found this on-line but it doesn&#039;t go into any more detail of where the blanks were ordered from</p><p><i>The War of 1812 played a major role in the absence of a Large Cent edition from 1815, as a wartime embargo prevented blank copper planchets from being shipped to the US. Though the Mint worked with the supply of planchets it already had on-hand, they had run completely out by the time it came to produce the 1815 edition. Fortunately, the war with Great Britain was put to a halt in 1816, at which point the US Mint immediately ordered more copper blanks to be used to create Large Cents.</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
