@benjordan Thanks for noticing! That's the new reverse design of the Lincoln Penny, the Union Shield.
Did you know the Walking Liberty Design first appeared on Adolph Weinman’s 1916 circulating half-dollar?
Did you know that tobacco was used as money in the American colonies? Share this fact with a friend.

@ljavier1 Actually you're at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, which is different from the Mint. We make coins!
@theMisgood Actually you're thinking of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The US Mint makes coins!
Most U.S. coin production starts with the arrival of coils - rolled-up strips of flat metal. A coil can weigh up to 10,000 pounds!
@jdubyamills Funny, but the Bureau of Engraving and Printing produces paper currency. We mint the coins!
Die Blanks are hubbed (adding the design) at room temperature in a process called cold forging. This method eliminates thermal expansion.
@NewtonLewis You're welcome! Hopefully you can get the issue taken care of.
@NewtonLewis You can reach us 7 days a week from 8:00 AM to 12:00 midnight Eastern Time.
@NewtonLewis Have you contacted Customer Care yet? They can be reached at 1-800-USMINT.
@NewtonLewis We hope you like your new coins!
@caseyritter We hope you enjoy the new tour!
@UrbanAlterNOLA If you want to see where we make coins now, you can visit both the Philadelphia and Denver Mints! #happytravels

The die shop is where the tooling that makes the coins is formed, treated and finished.
