Penny for your thoughts

I pulled some change out of my pocket this morning and just had to smile when I discovered this brand new 2010 penny, adorned with Captain America's original shield!


Okay it isn't exactly Captain America's shield, but it was the first thing I thought of when I saw it and I'm sure I am not alone.



UPDATE: This shield design is officially called the Union Shield, and this new 2010 penny represents President Lincoln's legacy of preserving the United States of America as a single country. It appears this will be the design for all pennies minted for the foreseeable future, so keep your eyes peeled for them to arrive in a change jar near you soon!

Visit the US Mint for more info on this cool new penny.

"When Captain America gets change for a buck!
You know the bad guys will soon be out of luck!"

  1. I didn't know about these pennies -- when I saw it, I assumed you were posting a pic from some sort of Captain America premium or something. Very neat!

    Gonna go get change for a buck now. "One hundred Captain America pennies, please!"
