Total Series-Wide Wheat Penny Mintage?

My best guess including the matt proof coins is 25,821,026,122.

Just curious, why would you want to know?

Did not know this existed. THANKS for posting this info.

Thank you for the assistance! I really appreciate it. I did have access to the year-by-year mintage numbers, but thought someone might know where to track down the overall total. There's one website in particular I often use which lists the total mintage for countless other series, but not the Wheat cent for some reason.

Again, I sincerely appreciate the two of you providing the figure. I did not think to plug the different mints' outputs into a spreadsheet; that serves just as well. Thank you for that exercise of kindness on both your parts.

I asked mostly for personal reasons. I was having a discussion with someone about coins which shouldn't be too difficult to track down in circulation as based on their production figures, but are, nonetheless, almost impossible to find. A lack of intrinsic value to drive Gresham's Law was also a topic of conversation. The Eisenhower dollar came up as one good example of such a coin, and the 2009 nickel as another (I have yet to find it through coin roll hunting, or receive it in change).

Later, it occurred to me that the Wheat cent was, in effect, the "king" of such coins. Such untold quantities were minted that 1940s-1950s examples, at least, should appear with more regularity than nickels from the same time period. Yet, Wheat Cents in general are growing increasingly scarce. I was honestly just curious exactly how many had nearly vanished from commerce.

But the Wheat cent LOOK different than the later cents, the nickels don't. That attacts attention to them even among non-collectors who pull them out as being "different". A non-collector seeing a 1946 nickel just sees another nickel.
