I love coins. Something about the jingle of them in my pocket excites me. I love feeling the grimy metal run through my fingers. But I hate pennies. Think we should do away with the things and just round up to the nickle. The U.S. Mint disagrees with me though as they have just recently unveiled the first penny redesign in 50 years to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth. The first of four pennies celebrating Lincoln’s life will be released on February 12th, 2009 which is Licoln’s birthday. The other designs will be introduced in three-month intervals after.
