Why are 2011 pennies worth more than 2010 pennies?

They really aren't. When a coin first comes out in the year, there is a rush for collectors to buy them for their collection or as birthday/Christmas gifts for people. Because of this, generally the current year is "worth" more than the previous year because most of the coin collectors have already gotten the previous year's coins but might not have the current year's coins. It is a temporary increase and when the 2012 coins start coming out, the 2011 coins will not be worth a premium any more.More ...The answer to this grade-school joke is that 2,011 pennies are worth $20.11 but 2,010 pennies are worth one cent less.
