  • A Short History of the Lincoln Penny

    A Short History of the Lincoln Penny

    Read the passage. Then answer the question below. A Short History of the Lincoln Penny Few objects are more common than the Lincoln penny. On any given day, you probably have a few in your pocket or purse. The typical household in the United States has hundreds of pennies squirreled away in piggy banks, jars, and drawers. Everyone is familiar with the penny, but few people ever look at it closely or know much about its history. When the Lincoln penny made its appearance in 1909, it was the first American coin to show the portrait of a historical person. A few coins, such as the Indian Head penny and the Buffalo nickel, had portrayed anonymous Native Americans. Americans, however, had always opposed using coins to honor historical figures. The strong desire to celebrate Abraham Lincoln’s 100th birthday overcame this sentiment. Victor D. Brenner, a Chicago sculptor, contributed the design for the Lincoln penny. His simple, somewhat stark portrait of Lincoln was topped with the words, “In God We Trust.” This was the first time these words appeared on a penny. The word “Liberty,” as mandated by a law passed by Congress, appears to the left of Lincoln, and the date is on his right. Brenner’s initials—VDB—appeared under the date on the first coins. After the coin was released, however, Americans complained that the initials were too large and detracted from the overall design of the penny. So the U.S. Mint removed the initials. As a result, pennies made in 1909 are highly prized by rare coin collectors.

In the past, pennies were made of 100% copper and even steel, but pennies made in 1982 and later are copper-plated zinc. There also have been pennies containing various metallic mixtures of copper with other metals, such as nickel, tin and zinc.

The Lincoln ZINC Memorial cent featured this beloved president on 3 both sides of the coin. One side has his face in profile; the other side has him seated in the Lincoln Memorial. In 1982, more Lincoln cents were minted than in any other year. 16.7 billion pennies were made, 4 which equals $167 million worth of pennies.

    STATEMENT OF MARK WELLER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AMERICANS FOR COMMON CENTS ON THE “FUTURE OF MONEY: DOLLARS AND SENSE” BEFORE THE HOUSE FINANCIAL SERVICES SUBCOMMITTEE ON DOMESTIC MONETARY POLICY AND TECHNOLOGY UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES NOVEMBER 29, 2012 1301 K Street, Suite 600, East Tower, Washington, D.C. 20005 ph (800) 561-7909 fax (202) 408-6399 www.pennies.org Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee, my name is Mark W. Weller and I am Executive Director of Americans for Common Cents. Thank you for inviting our organization to appear at this hearing. I am pleased to submit testimony today concerning the one-cent coin, the use of alternative metals in our coins, and the importance of the penny to America’s economy and culture. Americans for Common Cents (ACC) was established in 1990 to conduct research and provide information to Congress and the Executive Branch on the need to retain the penny. Our organization is broad-based and comprised of, and endorsed by, many of the nation's leading coin and numismatic organizations, charitable organizations that benefit from penny donations, and companies involved in the manufacturing and transport of the penny. It continues to be prudent to look at ways to make our coins less expensively, and we applaud this subcommittee’s work in 2010 directing the Department of Treasury to review the metallic content of our coins. However, in doing so, we need to ensure that Congressional and Mint discussions about alternative metals not become the pretext for an ill-considered decision to remove the penny from circulation.
