National One Cent Day - April 1st

Your hair was flowing in the wind

For countless years on end,

Lady Liberty was your name

Made of copper and later mixed with zinc

The reverse side might have wreaths, eagles, or Indian heads

The Mint wiped out your head of curly locks, and

To honor a President, tried and true changed to

Good ol’ Abe, with his strong chin and beard

Honest Abe resides on the penny with the reverse showing

Various pictorials of Abe’s life, begun in Kentucky

traversing Illinois and east to the Capitol

>> From Lady Liberty to the man who freed the slaves >>

Who better than Abe to showcase National One Cent Day?

Note: President Trump in February 2025 announced he wanted the U.S. Mint to stop producing pennies. R.I.P. Penny, you have had a long and illustrious life from your birth in 1793. I had no idea April 1 is National One Cent Day before Mike put up his April challenge and I searched for events in April.
