[QUOTE="Aidan Work, post: 231667, member: 1824"]Jon,the U.S. did have a 2c. coin - between 1863 & 1873.It was unpopular,because it was such an odd denomination. Here in New Zealand,we stopped using 1c. & 2c. coins in 1990,as the spending power for these 2 coins had gone downhill,& besides,it was costing more in terms of metal value for them to be struck.Australia followed suit in 1992 for the same reasons.
