That's right folks, our penny has changed. And I just found out about this today, no thanks to my friend Megan who has known for some time about this and failed to tell me. Now you should notice that on this penny its mint date is 2010. And if my calculations are correct, which they are according to a calendar, it is 2011. That's a year later. And so I feel I've been in the dark for a year. Upon asking everyone I have seen since finding out about this new penny of which I got at lunch, I would say about 60% don't know about the new penny design either. So I don't feel quite so bad now. But I also found out there are apparently 4 different designs for the penny. I look forward to seeing them.
And now for a few facts I read while searching for a picture to share. The design is the Union Shield representative of Lincoln keeping the Union together. The coin was first seen in circulation in February 2010. And that's all the facts I got for ya.
Noni Fun Fact: I used to want $50 worth of quarters when I was little.
See, one thing the deli did, helped you keep up with your coins ;) miss you.
