<p>[QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 7673006, member: 74863"]Correct but they were first minted in 1793-1797, then again from 1800-1837 and from 1840-1857. The public really didn’t like them and they failed to circulate. Numerous tokens circulated in place of coins to fill in coin shortages. I’ve never heard of cutting a large cent in half to satisfy the lack of half cents, especially when the public didn’t like them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
