Comment

Of the 100,000 minted coins across all varieties, 88,405 where redeemed and exchanged by US standard coinage before being melted. That left less than 11,595 piece in existence at that point.

Interesting fact

The 1 Cent - Kamehameha III 1847 coin from Hawaii (United States) made of Copper weighing 9g is interesting because it was minted during a time when Hawaii was still an independent kingdom, before it became a state in the United States.
