Four reverse designs in one year.
What our records show

- Facilities in the record, with the mark their coins carried: Philadelphia: no mint mark (2009); Denver: D (2009).
- What the figures count: circulating production each calendar year, without proof or uncirculated-set coins (archived Mint production pages).

Where the mint mark is
The Mint pages we used give no location for the cent's mint mark. The Mint's mint-mark page says only: “The mark can be on the obverse or reverse side, depending on how it fits into the design.” (U.S. Mint)
