United States coinage has a fascinating history, starting with the Coinage Act of 1792. This pivotal act not only created the U.S. Mint but also established our country's decimal monetary system. Initially, coins were made from copper, silver, and gold, often featuring symbols of Liberty and an eagle. As the economy changed and metal prices fluctuated, so did the coins themselves. By the mid-20th century, silver was phased out of most circulating denominations.
