Lincoln’s face on a penny

January 14, 2008 by Erin

While I was visiting Dan and his family is Springfield during the holidays, we went to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum. Lincoln spent his productive years as a lawyer in Springfield prior to being elected president. At the museum, they had one of those penny crushing machines that could imprint Lincoln’s profile onto a penny for 51 cents. I would have made a penny with Lincoln on it for everyone I know, but alas, it was broken.

haha that was hilarious… It would have been kind of funny if it was the first time I had seen a machine that smashed an image onto a nickle, so you could put Lincoln’s head on a nickle.
