Complete Set of WWII-Era Cartridge Case Lincoln Cent Rolls
During World War II, copper became an important natural resource for the war effort — so important, in fact, that for a time the United States Mint was forced to strike pennies in steel because the nation’s copper supplies had been allocated for the production of shell casings. Once the war was over, those same shell casings were brought back home, melted down, and used to strike new copper pennies!
