The penny has had a makeover! The US Mint is introducing 4 new penny designs in honor of Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday. This is the first time the penny has been altered in 50 years! Lincoln's profile will remain the same on one side and the other side will feature the new images. The first of the 4 new coins will be released into circulation on February 12th, which is Lincoln's birthday. A different penny with the 3 other images will be introduced every 3 months, from February. The different images will be a log cabin, a young Lincoln reading a book, Lincoln as a young lawyer in Springfield, IL, and a half-completed Capitol dome.
