1875 to 1878 Twenty Cent Pieces

 The United States Twenty Cent Coin, often called a twenty cent piece, was a unit of currency equaling 1/5th of a United States dollar.

The twenty cent coin had one of the shortest mintages and lowest circulations in US coin history, for both the series and the denomination.

It was minted from 1875-1878, but was only released for circulation in 1875 and 1876, with only a few hundred proofs released during the remaining two years.

The Twenty Cent Pieces has the distinction of being one of the few coins minted in the short lived Carson City Mint branch of the United States Mint in Carson City, Nevada.

As it turned out, confusion with the quarter was widespread. The public's enormous dislike for the new coin signaled an early end to the denomination.
