Collectible coins include a variety of types such as currency from different historical periods, commemorative coins, error coins, and precious metal coins. The United States 1 One Cent Penny, first issued in 1793, has undergone numerous design changes over the years, with notable types including the Indian Head and Lincoln pennies. Post-1776, private and regional issues emerged, reflecting local histories and economies, with the 1787 New Jersey coppers being an example. Philadelphia played a significant role in coin minting, serving as the site of the first U.S. Mint, established in 1792, which standardized coin production and design in the early republic.
