Fugio Cent

The Fugio Cent was also known as The Franklin Cent. It was the first official coin that circulated in the US. It was made fully of copper which is quite different from how coins are made today, i.e. with simple metal. In fact, the first couple of coins that were circulated in the US were made of copper only.  The Fugio cent displayed some interesting phrases like ‘Mind your business’ and ‘We are one’.
