Benjamin Franklin, one of our founding fathers, a renowned diplomat, politician, scientist, businessman and signatory of the Declaration of Independendence, is credited with the adage, "A Penny Saved, Is A Penny Earned".
My uncle Mack, who spent some time as a guest of the federal government for embezzlement and was considered by my family to be a profligate "good-for-nothing" said,"A Penny Spent, Is A Penny Enjoyed!".

In 1859 the United States government began production of a new one cent coin with an Indian Head design. They were produced for 50 years, until 1909, when the Lincoln cent design replaced them.
