The Philadelphia Mint produced over 3.26 billion cents in 2002, a noticeable drop from prior years. The nation was still processing the aftermath of September 11. The Department of Homeland Security was established. The Bush administration began making the case for war with Iraq, arguing that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. The economy was recovering slowly from recession.
The 2002 Philadelphia cent carries no mintmark and is common. Its lower mintage compared to the late 1990s reflects reduced economic activity. Collectors include it as a standard date in their Memorial cent sets.
