Some one should figure out how many pennies have ever been made in the USA.

According to my math there were 25,755,728,848 wheat cents struck in total.

Though it is worth noting more cents were struck in 2010-2020 than from 1909-1958.

Just for some more fun with stats, that's about 77 cents worth for each person currently living in the US.

Using that logic then we do not have any nickels either.

And someone needs to let the US Mint know about this...
