Lyndall Bass’ design for the new 2010 Penny has been selected as the winning image in a government competition with eighteen finalists. Her initials can be found underneath the ‘N’ on the scroll. The coin is currently entering circulation which will be ongoing in perpetuity. The design is emblematic of President Lincoln’s preservation of the United States of America as a single and united country.

The penny features a Civil War era shield with vertical stripes symbolizing the thirteen original states joined in a single compact union. The E Pluribus Unum above them is Latin for “Out of Many One”. The scroll across the shield bears a One Cent curved letter design meant by the artist to stand for the re-establishment of trust in the economic flow of currency after the Civil War. Without the resolve of President Lincoln to win the Civil War, establishing peace and cooperation, we would not be the 50 United States that we are today.
