What is the value of a Lincoln memorial penny collection dated 1959-1982?
Worth a penny, unless uncirculated or proof. Some collector might buy it for more, though. As of mid-2009 there have been no reports of "mule" cents dated 2009 but carrying the Memorial reverse. However many 2009 cents are still in bank vaults because demand for coins is down so if any were accidentally struck they may not have reached circulation. You'll need to have the coin authenticated by a dealer or appraiser who's familiar with errors. It could also be a fake coin made using the same machining techniques that produce all those "rare" magician's coins with 2 tails or 2 heads.

Why are there so many steps to the Lincoln memorial?
If you look at the Lincoln memorial as a whole, it is grandiose, almost palatial in it's design and construction. The statue of Lincoln seated in the chair is massive, awe inspiring and classical in it's portrayal of the martyred president. You could not build something so massive and impressive and only have a few steps leading up to it. The steps are long and drawn outward, causing the individual rising up the steps to linger longer and focus on the majesty of the memorial. I think it quite effective.
