There is a cool story behind the why it was added, the timing during the civil war, plus most people don&#039;t know the US made 2 cent pieces (you may want to gage if there are any ramifications of this topic in your school.&nbsp; This isn&#039;t a political comment, just an objective statement to and be safe not sorry).</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1943 steel cents may also be cool, you can work in the 43 copper cents as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just something to think about[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
