Description
The
Lincoln
Wheat
Cents
were
minted
from
1909
to
1959
when
the
reverse
changed
to
feature
the
Lincoln
Memorial
. These
pennies
were the
first
American
coinage
to
feature
a
historical
figure
and to have the
motto
"IN
GOD
WE
TRUST
".
President
Theodore
Roosevelt
encouraged
the
making
of these
coins
in
1909
to
celebrate
the
100th
anniversary
of
Lincoln's
birth
.
Originally
he
did
not
want
the
coins
to
bear
"IN
GOD
WE
TRUST
" but
president
Taft
,
who
over
saw
the
final
designs
of the
coin
,
decided
to
include
the
motto
. The
coins
began
circulating
on
August
second
and were
so
popular
that
several
banks
ran
out
on the
first
day
.
