Message:: [QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 820597, member: 16510"]Memorial cents lowest only.  What I am wanting to get is the lowest Lincoln memorial cent year/mint (such as 1961-P only, not P&D combined) production's total so when described people can see just just how much (a pile, or mass) the lowest modern cent production would look like.  We always hear total numbers but if we can see, or somehow have it decribed (as in a mass, lump, pile, weight, stack, volume) or whatever then we can truly know just how much even the lowest modern cents production could or would actually look like - and if we get a image or idea of the lowest we can only be mind-boggled by the highest mintage 1982-P of 10,712,525,000 cents. Now that 1982 figure does include 4 different design/compositions but it is without a doubt the most often encountered cent found even after after 28 years. My hopes in this contest is by putting in fairly modern terms, (lowest mintage since 1959) that we can start to fully understand "just how many coins" this really is, and it's unbelievable!!!We have common totals of modern Lincoln production of 3, 4, and 5 billion - can you only imagine what that would look like???  [/QUOTE]
