<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 874690, member: 66&quot;]Cents were originally not legal tender.&nbsp; They did not become legal tender until the Coinage Act of 1864 which created the bronze cent and two sent piece.&nbsp; As part of the Act cents were granted legal tender status to the amount of 10 cents.&nbsp; The new two cent pieces were legal tender to the amount of 20 cents.&nbsp; I believe cents stayed at that level until the Legal Tender Act of 1933 at which point the were granted unlimited legal tender status.&nbsp; That status was again confirmed by the Coinage Act of 1965.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
