Doesn't matter how many were made. What matters is the survival rate and demand. I'm sure most were spent, lost, or tossed but there is sufficient numbers that survived to meet the demand. In any even, it's doubtful these will ever be worth more than a few bucks.

There was also a Cheerios dollar coin which is probably what you are thinking about. These are much scarcer than the Cheerios cent.

They don't go for a whole lot, and I wouldn't really value the coin that high.
Here are some examples of ones that have sold recently
Number 1
Number 2
.........speaking of cheerios. they're now saying it MAY not really lower cholesterol as much as they have claimed, if at all

<< <i>Have any of these cents had issues developing milk spots? >>
...........probably better chance of a carbon spot. although i haven't heard anything confirming it.
LOL!
I don't know for sure, but that was my joke
..........not bad for a rookie.

Cherrios sound like they might be tasty, though. Cherry flavored?

Now that was funny...
Maybe they could be cherry..
I'd invent them, and give you half the credit

T$-- RAN TO GO GET CEREAL!

That was good!

Now if you would have said "cherry" old place, I'd really be laughing!

I don't think so, but I have learned never to say never.
When the Cherios cents first came out, our stores didn't have any. I was buying them on eBay in the hope of finding a then unknown 2000 wide AM cent. No such luck. Then I got one in change at the supermarket where I first start looking for the new Cherios packages.
