Stars have been significant features in the design of many United States coins and

the thirteen original colonies

As more states were admitted to the Union, however, it quickly became apparent that this scheme would not prove practical and the coins from 1798 on were issued with only thirteen stars-one for each of the original colonies Due to an error at the mint, one variety of the 1828 half cent was issued with only twelve stars There is also a variety of the large cent with only 12 stars, but this is the result of a die break and is not a true error
