Canadian One Cent coins-Calgary Coin Gallery The denomination of a cent is equal to the British 1/2 penny, but the government had them struck to the weight standard of 100 coins to the pound rather than the the British standard of 80 coins to the pound of bronze. Unlike the silver coins of this series, the large cents were struck with medal alignment, except for a very rare variety of the 1859 which had a 180 degree die rotation causing it to have coinage alignment (we have never seen one, but they do exist). From 1937 to partway through 1942 these coins were struck from an alloy containing 95.5% copper, 3% tin and 1.5% zinc (the same as the earlier small cents) but part way through 1942 the alloy was changed to 98% copper, 0.5% tin and 1.5% zinc. www.calgarycoin.com /modern/cdcent.htm   (2738 words)

Encyclopedia: British coinage The English penny was derived from a silver coin (the sceat of 20 grains weight)which was in general circulation in Europe during the middle ages. The weight of this coin was instituted by Charlemagne, and the purity of 92.5% silver (sterling silver) was instituted by Henry II in 1158 with the "Tealby Penny" – a hammered coin. In 1920, the silver content of all British coins was reduced from 92.5% to 50%, with a portion of the remainder consisting of manganese, which caused the coins to tarnish to a very dark colour after they had been in circulation for a significant period. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/British-coinage   (5410 words)

Since US coins are minted "coin turn style", this storage method allows the obverse and reverse to both be viewed right side up when you turn the pages away from you (like flipping the pages of a calendar, as opposed to flipping the pages of a book).
