[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 3999237, member: 27832"]Okay, you made me go look. Taking mintage figures from [URL='https://lincolncents.net/lincoln-cent-mintages/']here[/URL], which is only current to 2016... I get a total of just over half a trillion Lincoln cents minted during that interval, and other sources indicate maybe another 25 billion in 2017-2019. A bit less than 1/3 of those were minted before 1983. Discounting the steel cents and the relatively few zinc cents minted in 1982, that means we've made twice as many Zincolns in the last 37 years as the number of copper Lincolns made in the preceding 74 years.
