The design has been changed in 2009 to honor the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth. Four reverse images will be used, and 3 of them feature a building. The first version shows an image of the log cabin in which Lincoln was born. The third will show the Illinois state capitol, and the fourth will show the U.S. Capitol as it was under construction during Lincoln's term.
The second design is the only one that doesn't show a building, and depicts Lincoln reading.
The Lincoln Memorial is on the back of cents struck from 1959 to 2008. On better-struck coins, Lincoln's statue in the building can be seen. The Memorial is located at one end of the reflecting pool in Washington DC. The Washington Monument is at the other end. In between the two one can find the Vietnam Memorial and the World War 2 Memorial.
