The penny was first issued by the government in 1793 .

Since 1909 , the profile of President Abraham Lincoln has adorned the obverse side of the coin.

A debate has been rumbling for years over whether the penny should be dropped from the line-up of American currency.

Supporters of the penny argue that it helps keep consumer prices lower and is a source of income to charities.
