10,000,000 cents were given to General Mills, along with 5,500 Sacs from the mint.. Some cards held both coins.
From About.com:"Although Cheerios Pennies are generally nothing special, a small percentage have been found to have come from dies meant for Proof pennies, and they have the " Wide AM" reverse die type. The average Cheerios Penny which is still on its card is worth about $5 on ebay. (A 2000 Lincoln Cent that is not on the sealed Cheerios card is only worth face value.)

They are all in the package but you can only see the obverse will get a picture. But they look like all I have seen. I got all 6 of the for .50 so less then .10 each. But I bought all that he had.

I think About.com is wrong. As far as I know no WAM has ever been found on a Cheerios cent.

I found several Cheerios cents back in 1999 and early 2000, but I broke them open to spend, or I lost the few I kept. I did keep a Hallmark-packaged uncirculated 2000-P Sacagawea, though.

Never seen this Cheerios penny thing before. Cute idea. I don't eat cereal, so never even saw it on the boxes when this was going on. Thanks for posting it.
