New Penny

Maybe everyone else has seen these already, but I just got my first one in change a few days ago. Pennies have a new look! The back of the coin now shows a picture of Abraham Lincoln seated on a log, ax nearby, reading a book. This is the first major change to the coin design in 50 years, since the image of the Lincoln Memorial replaced ears of wheat on the coin's back. The front, with Lincoln's portrait has remained basically the same for 100 years. 2009 marks the 200th anniversary of Lincoln's birth.
