Over 3,000 Attend Indiana Penny Unveiling at Lincoln Amphitheatre


Despite the rain a huge crowd of coin collectors and Lincolnfiles turned out today at the release of the U.S. Mint's new Indiana Penny. The one cent coin is the second in a series of four new pennies to be issued this year.

The event included more than 200 school children, the director of the U.S. Mint Edmond Moy, and The Celebration Singers.

More than 20,000 rolls of pennies were exchanged during the event in just a few hours time.
