Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Cent "1896" (Pattern; bronze) 1896 from United States made of Bronze is a rare and unique coin that was never circulated. It was created as a pattern coin, meaning it was produced as a prototype or sample for a potential new coin design, but it was ultimately never adopted for circulation. As a result, only a small number of these coins were minted, making them highly sought after by collectors.
