Best Answer

Lincoln is on the 1-cent coin, commonly called a penny. It is copper and shiny when it is new, but can turn dark or even green due to chemical reactions with the copper. He was the first actual person to appear on a US coin and I think he was first put on this coin in 1908 to honor the 100th anniversary of his birth. In any case, Lincoln was put on a coin in order to honor his memory.
