New Penny Released Today



Today is President Abraham Lincoln’s 200th birthday today and the 100th anniversary of the Lincoln cent, the U.S. Mint will issue four new 1-cent coins. The first will go into circulation today. The rest will be released in each calendar quarter throughout the year. The heads side will bear Lincoln’s likeness. The tails side will have one of four designs depicting aspects of his life. They should have made it out of real copper to honor the man, but wait if they did that it would be worth something.
