First 50 years were Wheat back's, second 50 years memorial back .. so if they keep the cent, my guess would be shield back for next 50 years.

just my opinion, but I am doubting the shield cent will continue to be minted for 50 years.

IMO the shield will be minted for 50 more years, because it took the 200th anniversary of Lincoln's birth to change the memorial design.

Well, I doubt the cent will be around in 20 years let alone 50, but I suppose I could be wrong.

Changing coins seems to be the way forwards. It makes 'em more money. Australia and Canada are massive fans of just about everything coin! The UK has decided to go that way too, never had more than one pound coin before, 2010 sees THREE!! Maybe it will make coin collecting more interesting in 50 years time, more coins to find etc, but at the moment it is like having State Quarters attacking you in a nightmare! |

well if the shield is going to be around for a while then it looks like a new set book is in the cards for me

All coins and paper money will cease to exist in 20 years.
We will all have debit cards for all point of sale transactions.
The pilot program is ongoing at many of the major universities and colleges.
No cash on campus.

it would be very weird to change to a new obverse on the penny

Why the change? The Lincoln monument has work so well, and the new design just don't have that historical feel to it. It just to plain!

ALL of our coinage and paper money has undergone a COMPLETE overhaul in the last 10-15 years if you think about it. (except for the Dime)

I prefer the new design because it is more historical, besides I'm tired of the memorial reverse.
