  • Ceremony scheduled for next Lincoln penny

    The final Lincoln Bicentennial One-Cent Coin release in Washington, D.C., will be Nov. 12.

    Organizers of the event have not set a venue, but it will probably be in the Capitol complex.

    On the reverse of the penny, the Capitol building’s dome is under construction, as it was during Abraham Lincoln's term in office. The dome continued to rise as the Civil War was fought.

    When Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, just five days after the war ended, his body lay in state under the newly completed dome.
