You can’t get much for a penny, but it is hard to make change without them. The most stable coin, design wise, is getting a new look for 2009. The Lincoln cent debuted in 1909, one hundred years ago, and has only seen one major design change, from the wheat back to the memorial, and that was 50 years ago.
For 2009 the reverse, coins have an obverse (heads) and a reverse (tails), will depict events in the life of Lincoln.
All the special coinage of the past ten years has reignited an interest in coin collecting, and made getting change fun. Have you found an Alaska Quarter yet? Have you been looking?
One design that was rejected by the mint was for the Lincoln Navigator, sponsored by Ford.
