	United States coinage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Both the one cent (penny) and the five cent (nickel) are larger than the dime, worth ten cents, and the less common 50-cent coin is larger than the recent Sacagawea and Susan B. Anthony dollar coins.
		Furthermore, the coins' inscriptions do not follow a consistent pattern of describing the value in cents: "One Cent" (penny), "Five Cents" (nickel) "One Dime" (dime, worth 10 cents), "Quarter Dollar" (quarter, worth 25 cents), and "Half Dollar" (worth 50 cents); knowledge of these terms is required for visitors.
		All are produced by the United States Mint, which sells them to the United States Federal Reserve Banks, who are responsible for putting coins into circulation and withdrawing them from circulation, as demanded by the economy.

		Coins minted in Philadelphia bear a P or no mint mark; those minted in Denver, a D; in San Francisco, an S; and in West Point, a W. Although the Coinage Act of 1965 specified that no mint marks would be used for five years, Congress authorized in late 1967 that mint marks be resumed.

	Franklin Half Dollar
		This had been required by law on the half dollar since 1792 and was reaffirmed by the Coinage Act of 1873, which mandated the placement of an eagle on every U.S. silver coin larger than the dime.
		The Walking Liberty half dollar, last struck in 1947, was the final precious-metal coin remaining in production from the early 20th-century period that spawned the "Mercury" dime, Standing Liberty quarter and Saint-Gaudens double eagle.
		Sinnock's portrait of Franklin, modeled after a bust by 18th-century sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon, is bold and clean, contrasting sharply with the subtle, detailed depiction of Miss Liberty on the Walking Liberty coin it replaced.

	United States dollar coin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Susan B. Anthony dollar coins were sometimes referred to as "Carter quarters." This was a snide reference to both the deterioration of the value of the dollar during Jimmy Carter's term and the Anthony dollar's strong physical resemblance to the quarter, often causing it to be mistakenly spent as such.
		While dollar coins are used infrequently in general commerce, they are used in place of tokens in some areas and are given as change in many United States Postal Service stamp vending machines, creating a relatively small but significant demand.
		Original silver dollars from this period are highly prized by coin collectors and are exceptionally valuable, especially the 1804 silver dollar, which is one of the rarest and most famous coins in the world.

	Dime (U.S. coin) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A dime is a coin minted by the United States with a denomination of 1/10th of a United States dollar or ten cents.
		Dimes are important to the history of coins in that they were the first coins minted as part of the decimal system that was invented at the inception of the US monetary system.
		In colloquial language, the word dime usually refers only to the ten-cent coin rather than to the quantity of money; one would not normally call two separate five-cent coins taken together a "dime".

	U.S. Treasury - FAQs: Denominations of Coins
		Many times, even the Treasury Department and the United States Mint use the term penny because that is what is normally referred to in general use by the public.
		So in 1866, United States Mint officials decided to make it larger by changing its content from silver and copper to a combination of copper and nickel—and the modern nickel was born.
		Except for the copper penny, all coins were produced in proportionate metallic content to the dollar, and their sizes were regulated accordingly.
