How Did a Dime Piece First Became a Part of Our Lives?

by Coin Friend on October 4, 2011

I am sure that many of you have never looked at a dime piece and thought about how this coin first became a part of our lives. The dime piece was introduced to the public in 1796. This coin has been so much part of our lives and history that you will find that there are certain adjustments that have been made to the dime piece so that it will be able to function in our busy lives.

When you look at the dime piece you will see on one side a portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The other side of the coin has a torch, and an oak branch and olive branch flanking the torch. The design for the dime piece was done by John R. Sinnock and the designs were placed on the dime piece in 1946. This smallest and thickest of the US coins was given the congressional stamp of approval in 1792.
