All Norse pieces were struck with octagonal planchets, and the thick and thin silver strikes were almost the same overall diameter as U.S. commemorative half dollars. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Some half cents show remnants of these undertypes (often valued as a subtype), and some 1795 coins were produced on thick planchets thought to be reused cent coins that were not rolled to correct half cent thickness. ❋ Unknown (2008)

As these copper planchets became unstuck eventually, due to the movements within the mechanisms, and joined the flow, they were struck into coins. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Conversely, in 1944, a few steel cents were minted as a consequence of leftover steel planchets joining the flow of copper planchets. ❋ Unknown (2008)
