Just Half-Cents & Large Cents were minted in 1793.
Penny
The United States first minted the large cent in 1793.
If you mean the first coin made by the first US Mint it was the 1793 Half Cents issued in July of that year.
Check that coin again. The first U.S. coins weren't minted until 1793.
The US Half cent and the US Large cent were both first minted in 1793 and were the first coins issued by the US Mint.
No. The only double headed coin to circulate in the US was an undated George Washington Cent minted sometime between 1783 and 1793.
All coins have a date that they were minted, so by looking at the coin carefully, you will find the date the coin was minted.
Cents have been minted almost every year since 1793 so that's an extremely broad question. Please post a new and more specific question with the coin's date and mint mark (if it has one).
Such a coin does not exist. The last British Halfcrown coin minted for circulation was minted in 1967. The last British Halfcrown Proof coin was minted in 1970.
The mint is the place where the coin was made. In the US there are several. If the coin has a D next to the date, it was minted in Denver. S is for San Francisco.
The US has minted 1-cent coins since 1793. The answer stating no 1-cent coins were minted before 1909 was incorrect and has been removed.
The US never minted half pennies, but Britain did. The US made half cents from 1793 to 1857 but no such coin would exist from 1896. If your coin is from Britain (with a picture of Queen Victoria) please see the Related Question.
