The Flowing Hair design was the first-ever design used on circulating coins struck by the U.S. Mint. It first appeared on the
Large Cent in 1793, then the
Half Dime from 1794 to 1795, the
Half Dollar from 1794 to 1795, and the
Dollar from 1794 to 1795. Mocked by the public for Liberty's wide eyes and wild hair, this design has two variations, both of which did not last for more than two years.
