<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1887372, member: 26302&quot;]I always read they thought it would circulate. This might sound funny, but we were in the Civil war and immediately all gold and silver coins left circulation. Even cents started to leave circulation since they had nickel in them. So, the thought was that a 2 cent piece of only bronze might be viewed as worth so little intrinsically it might circulate as a basic coinage. After the war, of course, when regular coinage came back into circulation it was an unneeded, unwanted coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
