The 1933 Lincoln cent from Philadelphia was produced in approximately 14.4 million coins. Franklin Roosevelt took office in March 1933. The first hundred days of the New Deal reshaped the federal government's relationship with the economy. Banks reopened. The CCC put young men to work. Prohibition ended in December. The cent circulated through the beginning of recovery. No San Francisco or Denver cents were struck in some years during this period, though both mints produced cents in 1933.
