If you have not already heard, in 2009, the United States Mint will mint and issue four different one-cent coins in recognition of the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln’s birth and the 100th anniversary of the production of the Lincoln cent. While the obverse will continue to bear the likeness of President Lincoln currently on the penny, the reverse will change to bear four different designs, each representing a different aspect of the life of Abraham Lincoln.
I find this news especially appealing as the rumors continue to fly around of the one-cent's demise and inevitable phasing out from our currency. It looks like that will not be happening any time in the near future.
