Saint Gaudens $20

Indian $10

Indian $5

Walking Liberty Half Dollar

Standing Liberty Quarter

Barber Quarter

Mercury Dime

Barber Dime

Buffalo Nickel

Lincoln Cent

McKinley Commem $1 Gold

 

So I think that makes 11.

Ok, if you only want the denominations, thats $20, $10, $5, $1, 50c, 25c, 10c, 5c and 1c, so that would be 9 denominations. Sorry if I misunderstood the question!

Well, if you're going to leave out the Philippine issues, you're probably looking only for the "normal" denominations. I'd have to say 9: 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.25, 0.50, 5.00, 10.00, 20.00, plus the McKinley gold dollar

 

Things get more interesting if you include the Philippine issues.

 

Things get a LOT more interesting if you expand the question to to count the non-US coins made at US mints. Seems that we did a booming business for other countries that year. I guess the war had something to do with it...

scratch my previousl answer, i thought it said 1816.
