	Two-cent piece (U.S. coin) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The two-cent piece was the first coin of the United States to bear the national motto "In God We Trust." Note that this occurred during the height of the Civil War when religious feelings were very prominent.
		Two cent pieces were minted in both proof and regular issues.
		The two cent piece was authorized by Congress on April 22, 1864, and the same law that eliminated the coins in 1873 also did away with the half dime and the silver three-cent piece (the copper-nickel three cent piece continued to be minted through 1889).

	United States coinage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		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.
		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.

		A coin which exists only as a proof, such as an 1895 Philadelphia mint Morgan dollar (if you believe, as I do, that all business strikes of that issue were melted) that is worn down to Very Good-8 grade, for example, would still merit the grade Proof-8.
		Of course, some proof coins are impossible to distinguish as proofs once they are worn beyond a certain point.

		There was no mention of the denomination back in 1792 when the first coins of the United States were authorized, but in 1806, a member of Congress actually proposed a two-cent coin made of billon, an alloy of copper and silver which was being used in Europe at the time.
		In the mid-1850s, with the introduction of a Flying Eagle cent, the old idea that a coin had to be worth close to its face value in the metal it contained was finally put to rest.
		In the past, that idea had been a major problem for the two-cent piece, as there were already problems with the size of the large cent, and the two cent piece, if made of the same alloy, would be twice as large.

	Math Trek: Coins for Making Change Efficiently, Science News Online, May 10, 2003 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-22)
		In finding coin denominations that minimize the average cost of making change, Shallit assumed that every amount of change between 0 and 99 cents is equally likely.
		The combination of 1 cent, 5 cents, 18 cents, and 25 cents requires only 3.89 coins in change per transaction, as does the combination of 1 cent, 5 cents, 18 cents, and 29 cents.
		Assuming that each amount of change between 0 and 499 cents is equally likely, Shallit's calculations show that the average cost of making change would fall from 5.90 to 4.58 coins per transaction with the addition of an 83-cent coin.

	Your Two Cents Worth
		Silver and gold coins still remained hidden---those who held them feared the government would seize them if they were brought out of hiding---and it became necessary to issue paper money in denominations smaller than a dollar to replace the missing coins.
		In order to ease it further the government decided to produce a new coin--a two cent piece---using the same bronze alloy the Mint was using for the penny.
		The Mint continued to produce the two cent piece until 1873, but after the war silver and gold coins began to find their way back into circulation, and the two cent piece became less and less necessary.

	The Indian Head Cent - Coin Collecting
		The roll of the Indian Head Cent in American history was not a matter of design or beauty, it just happened to be in the right place, at the right time fulfilling an important function in commerce.
		The Indian Head Cent was manufactured from 1859 to 1909, but to really comprehend the importance of this coin to the American public, one needs to look at the events in U.S. history leading up to and during the time this coin was in circulation.
		Even the nickel alloy cents were starting to disappear from circulation because the price of nickel was climbing in the commodities’ market, and once again, it was costing the U.S. Mint more to manufacture the one-cent piece then what the coin was worth.

	The Indian Head Cent - Coin Collecting
		The Act authorized a new smaller cent (it still was not declared as legal tender), and eliminated foreign coinage as legal tender for transactions.
		It seems Longacre just did not understand the mechanics of coin design, and had a tendency for designing coins with a relief that would not lend itself to striking properly.
		It is obvious, from looking at the coin; the portrait is not one of a Native American.
