Best Answer

There are six current denominations:

1¢ (penny)

5¢ (nickel)

10¢ (dime)

25¢ (quarter)

50¢ (half dollar)

$1 (buck)

The 50¢ coin barely circulates due to a number of bureaucratic errors by the Mint back in the 1960s that caused many people to mistakenly hoard them. The $1 coin circulates only in some parts of the country where it's used in transit systems and vending machines.

Many other denominations were issued in the past, including half cents, 2¢ pieces, 3¢ pieces, half dimes, 20¢ pieces (double dimes), trade dollars, quarter eagles ($2.50), $3, $4, half eagles ($5), eagles ($10), and double eagles ($20).
