The production of the 1 cent coin, often referred to as the penny, began in the United States in 1793. Initially made of copper, the coin underwent various design changes and metal compositions over the years. The penny has been produced continuously since its introduction, with notable changes occurring during the Civil War and in the 1980s to address rising metal costs. The most famous design, the Lincoln penny, was first issued in 1909.
