Cents by year and facility

Every cent production figure we could trace to the U.S. Mint, 1900 to 2011, with the years the sources don't cover marked as such. Each row names its source.

Cents went from bronze to zinc-coated steel for 1943, to a copper-zinc alloy from 1944 to 1946, back to bronze, lost their tin in 1962 and became copper-plated zinc during 1982. Denver's cents start in 1911 and San Francisco's in 1908 in the Mint's record (pamphlet, tables C29 and C35, PDF pp. 56 and 63). “Minor coins were first manufactured at Philadelphia in 1793, at San Francisco in 1908, and at Denver in 1911.” (Mint report)

Designs

Year by year

Columns are production facilities. Where every coin in a column carries the same mark, the mark is under the heading; otherwise it's beside each figure. “Mark not stated” means the Mint's report gives the facility but not the mark. A dash means no figure from that facility within what the row's source covers, and each row with a dash says what that is: for 1900 to 1963 the Mint's record counts every coin struck, so a dash means none; later sources cover circulation coins only, so a dash there doesn't rule out proof or collector coins from that facility. Shaded rows combine more than one design.

The pamphlet's steel-cent total (1,093,838,670) equals its reported 1943 cent total. The cited sources don't establish whether the copper cents the Mint says were struck by mistake are included: “In 1943, pennies were made of zinc-coated steel because copper was needed during World War II. At the beginning of 1943, however, a limited number of copper pennies were struck by mistake.” (U.S. Mint)
