A Brief History of the U.S. Cent
*The one-cent coin, commonly known as the penny, was the first currency of any type authorized by the United States, and for over two centuries, the penny's design has symbolized the spirit of the nation, from Liberty to Lincoln. The design for the first one-cent coin was suggested by Benjamin Franklin.
The original one-cent coin was over five times heavier and almost 50% lager than its contemporary counterpart. The word "penny" is derived from the original British coin of the same name. Over 300 billion one-cent coins, with 11 different designs, have been minted since 1787.
The first one-cent coin was struck in 1787 by a private mint. This coin, known as the Fugio cent, was 100% copper and this composition would continue until the mid-1800's. Paul Revere, a noted blacksmith, supplied some of the copper for one-cent coins minted during the early 1790's.
No one-cent coins were minted in 1815 due to a copper shortage caused by the War of 1812 with Great Britain.
The Flying Eagle cent was first produced in 1856. This coin was notable for its change in composition - - 88% copper and 12% nickel.
The Indian cent was first introduced in 1859 and depicted an Indian princess on the obverse. A popular story about its design claims a visiting Indian chief lent the designer's daughter his headdress so she could pose as the Indian princess. Most Indian cents minted during the Civil War went primarily to pay Union soldiers. After the Civil War, in 1864, the composition of the one-cent coin was changed to 95% copper and 5% zinc.
The one-cent coin was made legal tender by the Coinage Act of 1864.
In 1909, Abraham Lincoln was the first historical figure to grace a U.S. coin when he was portrayed on the one-cent coin to commemorate his 100th birthday. The Lincoln penny was also the first U.S. cent to include the words "In God We Trust."
During part of World War II, zinc-coated steel cents were struck due to a copper shortage.
In 2009, to honor the 200th anniversary of Lincoln's birth, four penny designs depicting different aspects of the 16th President's life were circulated.
In the current 2010 design, "Preservation of the Union", the reverse design is emblematic of President Abraham Lincoln's preservation of the United States as a single and united country, with a union shield with a scroll draped across and the inscription ONE CENT. The obverse (heads) continues to bear the familiar Victor David Brenner likeness of President Lincoln that has appeared on the coin since 1909.

The obverse (heads) continues to bear the familiar Victor David Brenner likeness of President Lincoln that has appeared on the coin since 1909.
The U.S. Mint unveiled the 2010 Lincoln penny design during a Springfield, Illinois ceremony on February 11. The reverse design features a Union shield emblematic of President Lincoln's preservation of the United States. The shield includes 13 vertical stripes representing the original 13 states joined together as a united country. The stripes are capped by the heading "E Pluribus Unum" (Out of Many, One) which is inscribed across the top of the shield.
The shield dates back to the 1700's, and was used widely during the Civil War.
The 2010 Lincoln penny design evolved from the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005 which required a new penny design for regular use be developed for use in 2010 and beyond, symbolizing President Lincoln's preservation of the United States as "a single and united country."
Initially, 18 designs were submitted to the Commission of Fine Arts and the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee. Both organizations submitted their recommended designs to US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geitner, who selected the Union shield design. Lyndall Bass, an associate designer with the US Mint created the design, and Joseph F. Menna was the design sculptor.
The Union shield design replaces four 2009 designs depicting different aspects of President Lincoln's life and the 1950 to 2000 Lincoln Memorial design.
