About this coinHistory

Philadelphia struck 675,704,000 Jefferson nickels in 2001, a substantial production year. The coin is common in all grades and readily available in Mint State.

2001 was the year of the September 11 terrorist attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people and transformed American foreign and security policy. The attacks and their aftermath would define much of the following decade, including the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
