Feuchtwanger Coinage refers to a series of experimental coins created by the American engraver and inventor John H. Feuchtwanger in the 19th century. These coins, primarily produced in the 1840s, were intended as a means to address the shortage of small change in the United States. Notably, the 1-cent pieces in this series were made from a copper alloy and featured distinctive designs, including the inscription "Feuchtwanger" along with various motifs. While not officially minted currency, Feuchtwanger coins are collectible items sought after by numismatists for their historical significance and unique characteristics.
