Lincoln Penny Gets New Back Designs
The Lincoln Penny which in recent years have come under fire and many people have wanted to see it removed will be getting four new designs on the backside of the penny. The front of the penny will stay the same which I wished they would have redesigned that as well. Below is the four designs that they will be introducing. This should help prop up the penny and give it some new life and maybe people will look at it a little different than they have in recent years.
I like all the designs they are good except we still have the same front. that was also my beef with the state quarters as well. I guess it is better than leaving it the same. The U.S. Mint in my opinion wait to long to change designs and more frequent designs would keep interest in the coins longer, but the cost is the main factor change is not done along with coins usually last a long time compared to paper money.
