April 1 One Cent Day

April 1st is One Cent Day.
The United States first issued a one-cent coin produced by a private mint in 1787. This coin was made of 100% copper, was larger than today’s penny and came to be known as the Fugio cent. The one cent coin was reduced in size in the 1850s to make the coin more economical and easier to handle.

Today’s one cent coin is made of copper and zinc and has borne the image of President Abraham Lincoln since 1909. Four different reverse designs in 2009 honored Lincoln’s 200th birthday depicting various scenes from his lifetime and a new, permanent reverse – the Union Shield – was introduced in 2010.

What we say is research the history of the penny.
