Best Answer

The tail side (the technical term is "reverse") of the current US penny is the "Union Shield", a shield that has vertical stripes and "E Pluribus Unum" written across the top of it, partially obscured by scrollwork saying "One Cent".

Up until 2009, the most recent design of th e US penny had the Lincoln Memorial on the reverse (this is the same building depicted on the back of the five dollar bill). In 2009, four "commemorative" designs were issued for the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth. Prior to the Lincoln Memorial reverse, the penny featured two stalks of wheat.

The nickel's reverse is a depiction of Monticello, Jefferson's home. In 2004 and 2005 five commemorative reverses (for the approximate bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark expedition) were issued.
