Lincoln Penny and Lincoln’s Birthday

Are you a person that picks up pennies from the ground or do you pass them by? I for one pick them up, pennies add up in a hurry. My daughter recently bagged all her pennies from the penny bank in her room and turned them in to the bank. I couldn’t believe it but she had almost $200!

Have you heard the news about the redesign of the penny? This will be celebrating the 200th birthday of Abraham Lincoln and the 100th anniversary since the 1st Lincoln penny was introduced. The new pennies will be out in 2009 and will celebrate Abraham Lincoln’s life. There will be a total of 4 new designs. The front of the penny will remain the same as it is now, the new designs will rotate and replace the current design on the back of the penny which is the Lincoln Memorial.

The committee overseeing this project is having trouble finding designs it likes and so this is still up in the air. Here are a couple of designs being considered.

LOL Breezie! I’m always wondering why my wallet is so full of pennies! Maybe because that’s the only coin I ever seem to find on the ground, why don’t we ever find quarters I wonder!?

I carry a fanny pack and it gets so heavy from pennies that I have to dump them out so I don’t give myself a hernia trying to lug the thing around.

I once found a $20 bill on the ground, I used to find change in my school bus all the time, I figured it was a tip for me being such a good driver.
