The U.S. Mint is making new pennies this year in honor of President Lincoln's 200th birthday. The first of four new 2009 Lincoln penny designs has an image of a log cabin on the tail side. But distribution is slow and we hear that single pennies are selling for $1 each and 50-cent rolls for up to $50 online. Save your money; there will be plenty of new Lincoln pennies in the future. A new tails design is scheduled to be released every three months. Lincoln's familiar profile is on the head side of all four penny designs.
