Earlier this week, we told you about the new Flickr pool of Lincoln portraits and the new set of Lincoln stamps. And last fall we mentioned the new bicentennial Lincoln pennies. Well, now they're here and they're pretty copperific. In addition, there's a special Lincoln silver dollar floating around out there, so what better way to celebrate his birth than by collecting a bunch of coins that nobody uses? Seriously, though happy birthday, Abe! [via the U.S. Mint]
