U. S.Bronze Cents (1959-1982) from Change

The figures below represent the number of U. S. bronze cents dated from 1959-1982 pulled from change over the course of a number of years. These cents resulted from regular transactions only. I didn't search through any rolls from banks. Because I live on the East coast, the Philadelphia mint is disproportionately represented.
