When did the Indian Head cent replace the Lincoln cent?
The Indian Head cent, which the Lincoln cent replaced, had been introduced in 1859. Saint-Gaudens originally conceived a flying eagle design for the cent, but at Roosevelt’s request, developed it for the double eagle after learning that by law, an eagle could not appear on the cent.
When was the first Penny made in the US?
The single cent coin, later known as a penny, was one of the first coins ever produced by the US Mint in 1793. At the time, these coins look nothing like the pennies we know today because they were roughly the size of a US Half-Dollar coin. For this reason, it is easy to understand why they are often referred to as “large cents.”
