The Lincoln cent (sometimes called the Lincoln penny) is a one-cent coin that has been struck by the United States Mint since 1909. The obverse or heads side was designed by Victor David Brenner , as was the original reverse, depicting two stalks of wheat (thus "wheat pennies", struck 1909–1958).
US President Theodore Roosevelt ordered the new design with US President Abraham Lincoln's head to honor Lincoln as the savior of the Union. The coins were to be released on the 100th anniversary of Lincoln's birth, February 12, 1909. The coin was delayed to add the words "In God We Trust" and eventually released August 2, 1909.
