Interesting fact

The 2009 Lincoln Cent coin features a unique design on its reverse side, which depicts a scene of Abraham Lincoln taking the oath of office as the 16th President of the United States. This design was created by artist Daniel Carr and was chosen as the winner of a national competition held by the United States Mint. The coin's design is notable for being the first time that a U.S. coin has featured a historical event rather than a portrait of a president.
