One can say Penny instead.” - Upsidedow ★★★★★ The U.S. Mintage Quanti ties were Drastically Reduced Post- Civil War, because sadly, the P opulation had been Drastically Reduced : 1859: Congressman Abe Lincoln campaigns for President. 1860: Abraham Lincoln is Elected and Inaugurated the 16th President of The United States of America 1861: The Civil War breaks out, and will kill more Americans than all other wars combined. 1863: The nation runs out of Pennies, which had been recently issued to Solve commerce needs- because of Hoarding of the Copper-Nickel Cents, and the need for metals for the war. Civil War Tokens (privately made, supplemental coins) spring up and the Government issues Fractional Currency (Paper Change) to solve the shortage. 1864: The U.S. Mint cheapens the Copper-Nickel penny mixture to Bronzed Copper (copper thinned with 5% zinc), and increases production. Congress outlaws Civil War Tokens due to the Lack of Control over them. The Mint starts with an 1864 Copper-Nickel Cent; Stops production and Switches to Bronze; and then stops again and adds designer James Longacre's initial L, and returns the Pointed Bust to further differentiate the coin from the other, more common 1864 Bronze Cent. The Civil War winds down. 1865: January, With the penny crisis solved, Congress Formally Abolishes Slavery. Lee finally surrenders a few months later. Abraham Lincoln is assassinated just five days after Lee surrenders. Arlington National Cemetery is later built on Lee’s Front Yard, to Forever Shame him, and to Forever Honor American Soldiers killed in the line of duty.
