Numismatic Notes:
The historic Louisiana Purchase was completed in 1803. U.S. president Thomas Jefferson purchased most of the territory west of the Mississippi River from France. This set the stage for the famous Lewis & Clark expedition that explored this territory. The recorded mintage of cents in 1803 was 3.13 million.
