Медная монета 1793 года ушла с аукциона за 2,35 миллиона долларов
Медная монета достоинством в один цент, отчеканенная в США в 1793 году, была продана на торгах аукционного дома Heritage Auctions в Орландо (штат Флорида, США). Она ушла с молотка за 2,35 миллиона долларов. Новый владелец раритета пожелал сохранить анонимность.
Монета, известная также как «цепочный цент», появилась когда США запустили в оборот собственные деньги. На ее реверсе изображена цепь из 13 переплетённых колец, символизирующая единство 13 первых американских колоний. И таких монет отчеканенных в Филадельфии было всего 36,1 тысяч.
