Today, we celebrate Abraham Lincoln’s birthday.
Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was an American lawyer and statesman who served as the 16th president of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865.
I was going to post a photo of the now discontinued Lincoln Penny, but I remembered about a United States Note, Red Seal Lincoln five dollar bill I have in the safe. I’m saving it for posterity, I guess, because it’s only marginally worth more than $5 to collectors.
Circulated Condition: – Basic circulated bills are typically worth face value of $5 – Lightly circulated examples may fetch $5-$7 – Bills with minimal wear might retail for around $7
Pennies, however, were selling 50 cent rolls for Ten bucks according to something I saw on-line. I verified this to be true with Alexa+.

Anyway, even though the pennies are out of production, Abe is still remembered on the Fiver. Happy Heavenly birthday, Mr. President!
