About this coinHistory

Denver produced approximately 3.46 billion cents in 2004, bearing the "D" mintmark. Facebook launched in February from a Harvard dorm room, though few at the time grasped how profoundly social media would reshape communication, politics, and society. The Indian Ocean tsunami on December 26 killed over 200,000 people across multiple countries.

The 2004-D is common and available in all grades without difficulty. It is a routine date-and-mintmark entry for collectors of Memorial cents.
