US Two Cents
In 1836, the two-cent denomination was first introduced. At
the time, numerous patterns and design types were made. However, it was only in
the 1860s when these coins were produced in huge quantity for circulation.
James Pallock, director of the U.S Mint, reinforced the
coinage of the two-cent piece in 1863. Since the circulation of cents at the
time was scarce and silver coins did not circulate, a bronze two-cent piece
appeared to be very useful.
