US cents underwent several design changes in the 20th century:
- Indian head cents were issued up till mid-1909
- Lincoln cents were introduced that same year to honor Lincoln's centennial. The first design had the familiar obverse while the back had 2 stylized wheat ears, hence the name "wheat cent".
- In 1959 the reverse was changed to show the Lincoln Memorial.
- For 2009, four special reverse designs were issued to mark the Lincoln Bicentennial
- Starting in 2010, the reverse was changed again to show the Union Shield emblem from the Civil War.
