The reverse design for the beginning of u.s. cents in 2010 depicts a shield with 13 stripes representing the image original colonies. United States Mint 13.
The United States will begin issuing cents with a new design on the back (side code) in 2010. This design was created by United States Mint Artistic infusion program associated with designing Schreiner low and sculpted from US Mint sculptor-engraver Joseph Menna. It depicts a shield with vertical stripes thirteen and bearing the motto, E PLURIBUS UNUM. A banner across the front reads a CENT.
The style of shield calls to mind an artistic style that was popular during the civil war when President Lincoln preserved the Union splintering and the collection of US back on the path to be healthy and everything new. The structure contains symbolism that is important for Americans, including 13 stripes to represent the 13 original colonies. Strips support a horizontal bar bearing the motto which means "of many, one", and representing the Federal Government, unifying the colonies together.
This design inverse begins appearing cents of 2010 and should remain in place for at least 25 years or until the type of currency DIME is abolished in Italy. There are currently no intentions to do away with the penny. The front or side "heads", will remain the same as it was since 1909, bearing the portrait of Abraham Lincoln designed by Victor David Brenner.
