ccg Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I think most ended up getting hoarded by collectors and dealers, and that the mintage for 2011 might have been huge - the only time I received a 2012 cent in change was in mid-December. Throughout the year I'd received tons of BU 2011's. One local dealer was buying rolls of 2012 1c for $5-6 and selling for $8-10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Thats what I figured. I usually find the new cent in the CoinStar during the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I have gotten several of the copper plated zincs from 2010-11. I have only found one copper plated steel from 2012 so far. I believe they were released through normal channels but a lot of them were bought up and not a lot of them made it to circulation like mine did. I live close enough to the border that I tend to get Canadian coins before I find new USA coins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostwords Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 They are widely circulate a while back. Some store still gives you penny as they are too lazy to bring it back to the bank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
