The United States one-cent coin, commonly known as a penny, is a unit of currency equaling one-hundredth of a United States dollar. The cent's symbol is Â¢. Its obverse has featured the profile of President Abraham Lincoln since 1909, the centennial of his birth. From 1959 (the sesquicentennial of Lincoln's birth) to 2008, the reverse featured the Lincoln Memorial.
The memorial is to honor Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States. It also is a monument to freedom since Abraham Lincoln was President during the Civil War and slavery was abolished. Henry Bacon designed the memorial which looks like the Parthenon in Greece. Construction began on February 12, 1914. The building is made of Colorado Yule marble and Indiana limestone.
