Redesigning The Penny

The Lincoln penny changes for the first time in fifty years:

The designs show milestones in the life of the 16th president: the Kentucky log cabin of his birth, his youth working as an Indiana rail splitter, his service at the State Capitol in Illinois, and his effort to preserve the union during the Civil War as depicted by a half-finished image of the U.S. Capitol dome.


The first of the coins debuts Feb. 12, with the others following in three-month intervals. The release date, besides being Lincoln's birthday, comes a century after the production of the original Lincoln cent in 1909.

Decidedly less gay than the five dollar bill redesign and I still consider them relatively useless unless you're looking to gain some confidence in a most disgusting way
