The US Mint put Lincoln on the cent beginning in 1909, the 100th anniversary of his birth. Fifty years later, beginning with 1959, the design of the reverse of the cent was changed to show the Lincoln Memorial. Before that they had two ears of wheat on the reverse and are commonly referred to as "wheaties". All are "Lincoln cents".
