Why do coins have years on them?
Coins have a year on them to show when they were made.
In what year did the English start using the symbol of pi for pi?
1706
How many coins are made each year?
There is no predetermined limit for coins minted for general circulation. The number of coins made for the year depends on the economy.
Why are 2011 pennies more than 2010 pennies?
They really aren't. When a coin first comes out in the year, there is a rush for collectors to buy them for their collection or as birthday/Christmas gifts for people. Because of this, generally the current year is "worth" more than the previous year because most of the coin collectors have already gotten the previous year's coins but might not have the current year's coins. It is a temporary increase and when the 2012 coins start coming out, the 2011 coins will not be worth a premium any more.More ...The answer to this grade-school joke is that 2,011 pennies are worth $20.11 but 2,010 pennies are worth one cent less.
What year did people start making pennies?
The U.S. started making 1 cent coins in 1793. However, the first pennies (i.e. the coins that are really called pennies, not nicknamed) were minted in England as far back as the 8th century AD.
