The Year We Lost Our Cents Ornament – Last Penny Commemorative

Celebrate a unique moment in American history with this handcrafted wooden ornament commemorating the end of penny production in 2025. Featuring a real Lincoln penny mounted over an engraved image of the Lincoln Memorial.  This keepsake proudly displays the phrase “The Year We Lost Our Cents” along with the dates 1973-2025.

The ornament is framed with the patriotic details including stars, “In God We Trust” and a tribute marking the last year the penny was minted due to rising production costs. This is a thoughtful gift for coin collectors, history enthusiasts, economists, teachers or anyone who appreciates unique American memorabilia.

Please note that each ornament is unique due to variations in the wood and staining process. We strive to ensure they closely resemble the original listing photos.

This ornament is more than just a gift.  It’s a way you can help support survivors of sex trafficking and child exploitation.  It’s a purchase with a purpose!
