I have a coin from some casino that a former friend gave me & the front is a pic of a topless woman & it says "Heads I Win" & the back is a pic of her butt & says "Tails You Lose" :lol: I've seen other topless women coins on eBay & other places but I'm not gonna post any pics.

The Lincoln cent went into circulation 110 years ago today (in 1909, the centennial of Lincoln's birth). It was the first regular US coin to feature an actual person (as opposed to an abstract personification of "Liberty" or something similar).

The Lincoln penny has been around for 110 years, so most people have never seen any of the older models. Here are a few.

The "Flying Eagle" cent, one of my favorites:

It's not in his eye, he's using the arrow to scratch an itch on his forehead that's been bothering him all through the battle. He couldn't get at it with his gauntlets on. We've been completely misunderstanding the Bayeux tapestries for years.

I think what really happened is one of the little lions or the L over his head fell, knocked him unconscious and he got trampled by the horse.

Oopsy daisy, who gave the horses mead?

Well this is certainly dramatic. Reminds me of the famous ancient Nefertiti bust.

I hear some Mints use 9999 purity and some use 99999. Why is that?
