On the obverse 'heads' side of a US cent is Abraham Lincoln, on the reverse 'tails' side there are a number of different things depending on the year. Coins minted in 2010 have the union shield, coins minted in 2009 have one of 4 designs showing Lincoln's life, ones from 2008 and to the late1950s show the Lincoln Memorial, and ones prior to that in the early-to mid 1950s all the way to 1909 show 2 wheat stalks.
the penny has two faces on it one small one of Abe Lincoln on the back and a big one of Abe on the front
The building on the back of a US penny is the Lincoln Memorial.
Well, I think there are 22 steps on the back of a penny.
Which penny are you referring to? WikiAnswers is international, so make sure you specify if it's a U.S. penny, a Canadian penny, a British penny... I have a U.S. Cent which is commonly referred to as a penny. On one side, it has Lincoln's head. Above him, "IN GOD WE TRUST," to his back, "LIBERTY," and to his front, "1999 D." On the flipside is the Lincoln Memorial. Above it is "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" (Latin, meaning "Out of Many, One"), and below it is ONE CENT. I don't have access to any other countries' pennies at the moment.
examples: 2.5 grams,12 pillars on the back of the penny, 60 words on the penny,4 numbers on the penny. for a quantitative observation you always have to have a number in the answer:) hope this helps
the date of a penny is on the front

In the U.S., from 1909 to 1958, the Wheat Penny was coined with Abraham Lincoln on the front, and ears of wheat on the back.

Abraham Lincoln's on the front of the coin, and he was born in 1809. The date was put on the back for his bicentennial anniversary.

The bicycle called the "Penny Farthing" was used in Victorian times. One BIG wheel in front (the penny) one little wheel in the back (the farthing)

Lincoln is pictured on usually pictured on the front of the penny. 2009 is the only date that he was on the back. These pennies are very common and worth only 1 cent.
There was never an Australian pre decimal coin (pre-1966) minted with a Koala on the front, back, or anywhere else.
