Lincoln cent mintage figures

Below are the mintage figures for the Lincoln cent. 2025 was the last year the Mint issued cents for general circulation. Beginning in 2026, the coins have been minted in smaller numbers and sold only to collectors at premiums above the face value.

The following mint marks indicate which mint the coin was made at (parentheses indicate a lack of a mint mark):

P = Philadelphia Mint

D = Denver Mint

S = San Francisco Mint

W = West Point Mint
