---COMMENTS FROM E.CHABOT
The 3-cent coin was minted from 1851 to 1889. Well over 67 million
coins of that denomination were minted. Additionally, there was
also a $3 coin minted from 1854 to 1889.
And to be absolutely complete, from 1903 to 1945 while it was a
U.S. territory and then a U.S. commonwealth, the U.S. Mint
produced 1/2-centavos, 1-centavos, 5-centavos, 10-centavos,
20-centavos, 50-centavos, and 1-peso coins for the Philippines.
By U.S. law, 1 peso equaled 50-cents U.S. The coins continued
to circulate as legal coinage in the Philippines after
independence until about 1966.
