The Nickel The Dime |
The penny is a US coin worth one cent. One hundred pennies make a dollar. One cent can be written 1¢ or $0.01.
The US penny was named after the British penny. Pennies are copper plated zinc and have a smooth edge. The penny is 19.05 mm in diameter and is 1.55 mm thick.
The first US penny was minted in 1787; it was pure copper and was designed by Benjamin Franklin. The first Lincoln penny was issued in 1909, the 100th anniversary of Lincoln's birth. This was the first US coin to picture a President; it replaced the "Indian Head" penny. In 1943, the Lincoln penny was made of steel (with a zinc coating) because copper was needed for military use in World War II.
There are about 150 billion US pennies in circulation today.
PENNIES IN CIRCULATION:
 The front (obverse) of the penny pictures a right-facing profile of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States of America. It was designed by V. D. Brenner . The front reads, "IN GOD WE TRUST," "LIBERTY," and the year the coin was minted. The initial under the date is the mint mark, denoting the location of the US mint that produced the coin (D means Denver, Colorado, S means San Francisco, and California). |
 The back (reverse) of the penny pictures the Lincoln Memorial, a monument to Abraham Lincoln located in Washington, D.C. If you look closely at a real penny, you can see a tiny picture of Lincoln sitting inside the Lincoln Memorial. The back reads, "UNITED STATES oF AMERICA," "ONE CENT," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" (which means, "Out of many, one"). This design was adopted in 1959, replacing one that pictured two stalks of wheat; it was designed by Frank Gasparro. |
