US Coins for circulation minted in the 1940s were Mercury dimes until 1946 when it was replaced with the Roosevelt dime starting with coins dated 1946. Wheat pennies (including the 1943 steel penny), Walking Liberty half dollars until it was replaced in 1948 by the Franklin Half dollar. And the washington quarter. No silver dollars were produced in the 1940s. Jefferson Nickels were produced, including 35% silver "war nickels" from 1942-1945 with a large mintmark over the Monticello.
