Guess what the penny by next year will be having four new looks. The very first makeover the 1-cent coin will have in 50 years. The U.S. Mint already unveiled the new designs during a ceremony held at the Lincoln Memorial and all this is a part of the government's commemoration next year of the 200th anniversary of Lincoln's birth.
The profile of Lincoln will be preserve on one side of the coin while the Lincoln Memorial will be replaced by new images which will be introduced every three months.
The first design is a log cabin will represent Kentucky, the birth place of Lincoln by the year 1809. This set for circulation starting on Feb. 12 at Lincoln's birthday, and then every three months after that.
A young Lincoln having his break from work as a rail splitter in Indiana by reading a book will be the second design and as Lincoln as a young lawyer in front of the old state capitol building in Springfield, Ill will be its third design.
While the half-completed Capitol dome will show in the final coin series, emphasizing Lincoln's famous order that the construction of the Capitol should continue even during the Civil War as a symbol that the Union would continue.
