No. US cents have been made since 1793 but the Lincoln cent wasn't introduced until 1909.

The following designs were used before that:

  • Indian head, 1859-1909 (actually Miss Liberty wearing a Native headdress, but everyone calls them Indian head pennies)
  • Flying eagle, 1856-1858
  • Various images of Miss Liberty, 1793-1857

The dates overlap because in some years two different designs were minted.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
