Denver struck over 6.51 billion cents in 1996, bearing the "D" mintmark. TWA Flight 800 exploded off the coast of Long Island in July, killing all 230 people aboard. The cause was eventually determined to be a fuel tank explosion, though conspiracy theories persisted for years.
The 1996-D is extremely common. Billions were produced, and collectors face no difficulty in obtaining examples. It is a routine date-and-mintmark entry in any Memorial cent collection.
