It is amazing how little we know of the things we carry in our pockets.

Great information. Most coins that we use on a regular basis are either from Denver or Philly and rarely have I seen San Fran.

Thank you for sharing! I didn’t realize there were only 4 coin producing mints.

Hi Jim,

Neat post. I love trivia, and minting pennies is definitely up my alley!
