2009 Lincoln Cent Rolls Available Soon
This article was first published on the CoinNews sister site, 2009 Lincoln Pennies.
The United States Mint today updated its Product Release Schedule and has added slots for 2009 Lincoln Penny Rolls.
Here is the schedule (note the general dates for the final three pennies):
| Release Dates | Roll Sets |
| 3/13/2009 | Lincoln Cent Birthplace |
| Spring | Lincoln Cent Formative Years |
| Summer | Lincoln Cent Professional Life |
| Winter | Lincoln Cent Presidency |
Up until today, the Mint had not publicly indicated that 2009 Lincoln rolls would be offered. However, the difficulty in finding the new pennies at banks or in circulation led many collectors to assume such an offering would eventually come.
