The penny’s tail dons four stages of Abraham Lincoln’s life as they kept Lincoln’s profile in the head’s side.
The U.S. Mint released the new designs yesterday to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the 16th president’s birth and the 100th anniversary of the first Lincoln penny.
The coins will be put in circulation on February 19,2009, Honest Abe’s birthday, and the coins will be issued three months apart.
Here are the new designs: http://www.usmint.gov/pressroom/index.cfm?flash=yes&action=Photo#2009LincolnOneCent
