The Penny turns 100 - Four new designs!
2009 marks the 100th anniversary of the Lincoln Penny and the 200th birthday of Abraham Lincoln himself.
Congress and the President have signed into law a bill that will create not one, but FOUR new penny designs for 2009. While the picture of honest Abe will still distinguish the front of the penny, the back of the penny will have various designs from Abraham Lincoln's time in Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and Washington D.C.
What better way is there to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the penny than by creating your very own portrait of Abraham Lincoln - out of pennies!
