2009 Penny Front
So I wasn’t terribly shocked to find a brand new penny in my hand upon receiving change for the breakfast I purchased this morning.. I was however shocked to see that they have been completely redesigned!!
Apparently 2009 was the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln’s birth and as such four new designs were commissioned and released to celebrate that as well as the 100th anniversary of the production of the Lincoln cent (penny).
I have to think that Lincoln would be embarrassed…
