New Penny design released

The U.S. Mint released the penny design which will replace the Lincoln Memorial on the back of the penny I grew up with. It is going to have the Union Shield on it which has thirteen stripes to represent the thirteen states that came together to form the first union. I am so grateful to the people who are pushing for these new pennies as a way to remind people of our past and the history that so many fought for so we can worship and live in a free country. I am also grateful for the Pilgrams who struggled and suffered immensely to provide a better life for their families which has in turn helped me in my life!
