Lincoln Memorial

The Lincoln Memorial is located in Washington DC, the US Capital. It is in West Potomac Park. The Potomac River is behind the Memorial.

It's just a penny, spend it.

While not written, the riddle of what is on the back of the Jefferson Memorial statue is stated by the objects seen there: the items there are corn, tobacco leaves and books.

They represent items that were very significant in his life.

Chester A. Arthur was U.S. President on Saturday, December 6, 1884, the day on which the Washington Monument was completed. Chester Arthur was the 21st U.S. President, in office from September 19, 1881 to March 4, 1885.

The only coin featuring the Lincoln Memorial is the cent from 1959 to today, so I don't know exactly what your set consists of. A complete set from 1959 - 2008 would only bring $5 or $6 if all the coins were picked from circulation.

To visit it is an experience and reminder of our history. I am not sure what you mean by tribute, but it is a place that reflects the greatness of Lincoln and the problems he faced as president. It is worth a visit.

Unity and democracy

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.

Students "ambassadors" in almost every state participated in the fund raising known as the Pennies Make a Monumental Difference campaign. Students also worked with National Park service professional exhibit planners to develop the tematic content, and the plan to use the exitsting space.

Robert Mills was the architect that designed the Washington Monument. The monument was not completed until many years after his death due to many historical events the main one being the onset of the American Civil War.

If you believe in the president's books of secrets, the biggest secret in there is The Lincoln Memorial is really made out of solid gold painted white. Should the deficit hit $400 trillion dollars then it will be melted down to pay off debts.

The top of the actual Lincoln Memorial has the names of the 48 states in existence at the time it was constructed. They run all the way around the building. The image on the $5 bill of course only shows the names visible from the front of the monument.

If you think about it for a second or two, the only way the bill could show both sides would be if it had a moving picture like the ones in a Harry Potter movie.

The Lincoln Memorial was influenced by the Parthenon ;w;

All Lincoln cents minted from 1909 to 1958 had the same primary reverse design: the words ONE CENT in large letters, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA in smaller letters below and "E Pluribus Unum" in tiny letters along the top rim.

The wording was enclosed in two bent wheat ears on the left and right sides, symbolic of America's agricultural strength. As a result the coins are known as "wheat ear", "wheat back", or even "wheatie" cents.

The first cents minted in 1909 also carried the initials VDB of the coin's designer, Victor David Brenner, in small letters at the bottom. Later in the year they were removed after public protests over their prominence on the coin, and prejudice against Brenner's religion.
