The US Mint has produced a number of Unique Odd Cents over the years! You get the one year 1943 Steel penny,
the US II cent Coin and the US III cent coin.
The two-cent coin was produced in the United States from 1864–1873 with decreasing mintages throughout that time.
The two-cent piece was made of 95% copper with tin and zinc making up the remainder. It was very slightly smaller
than a modern U.S. quarter and was the first coin of the United States to bear the motto "In God We Trust." 
The three cent coin has an unusual history. 
It was proposed in 1851 both as a result of the decrease in postage rates from five cents to three and to answer the need for a small-denomination,
easy-to-handle coin.The three cent nickel was never
intended as a permanent issue, only as stopgap measure until the wartime hoarding of Silver coins ceased. However, production of the coin
continued until 1889, 16 years after the three cent silver was discontinued. One reason often given for the
discontinuation of the three cent nickel piece in 1889 is that this coin and the dime (10 cent silver coin) were identical in diameter,
and hence caused confusion with the advent of mechanical vending machines. Another factor may
have been that in 1883 the letter postage rate dropped to 2 cents, thus removing the justification for this coin.
