The Lincoln cent (called the Lincoln penny) is a one-cent coin that has been struck by the United States Mint since 1909. The obverse was designed by Victor David Brenner, depicting two stalks of wheat (thus 'wheat pennies', struck 1909–1958). In January 1909, the Mint engaged Brenner to design a cent depicting the late president, Abraham Lincoln. The year 1909 marked the 100-year anniversary of when Lincoln was born. It was the first time a coin had the design of a U.S. president. Originally struck in 95% copper, the cent coin was changed for one year to zinc-coated steel in 1943 because copper was needed during that time to aid war efforts. The mint then reverted to 95% copper until 1982 as inflation caused copper to be too expensive and the composition was changed to zinc with the outer layer being copper.
