During planning for the centennial of Lincoln's birth, it was suggested that his portrait be put on a coin. Five denominations - the cent and four gold coins - were scheduled for redesign at that time. However the Mint was already far along in choosing new images for the gold coins, so the cent was the coin chosen to honor the 16th President.
