New penny chronicles Lincoln's humble beginnings

HODGENVILLE, Ky. – The first of four new pennies chronicling Abraham Lincoln's rise from a small Kentucky cabin will be put into circulation Thursday to honor the 16th president's 200th birthday.

The coin's front is unchanged, but the reverse depicts a tiny log cabin, representing the one-room dwelling where Lincoln was born near Hodgenville, Kentucky.

The new one-cent piece is being unveiled by the U.S. Mint as part of Lincoln's bicentennial celebration, being held Thursday morning near his birthplace.

The remaining coins, set for release later this year, show other phases of Honest Abe's life: a young man reading while sitting on a log during his formative years in Indiana; Lincoln the state legislator speaking in front of the Illinois capitol; and the unfinished dome of the U.S. Capitol.

My husband is jazzed about these pennies. He's a coin collector, and loves Abraham Lincoln.

I agree the pennys' are very nice, but one minute there talking about eliminating the penny and the next they are unveiling new ones....considering it costs over a penny to make penny, no wonder this country is in a economic crisis.....it also costs more than a nickel to make a nickel!

food for thought...............
