Comments
Non-magnetic (bronze) set issues (see link below):
In 1999, the Brilliant Uncirculated and Proof Annual sets featured pennies struck using bronze planchets, due to a world shortage of steel.
Reports have been received regarding differing number of beads to both sides:
1998-1999
115 beads on obverse and 113 beads on reverse;
2000-2008
110 beads on obverse and 109 beads on reverse;
