Aspect 3: Professional Life in Illinois
Professional Life in Illinois Reverse In 1830, Thomas decided to move the family to Illinois, where he had relatives and where the soil was rich and productive. Early on, Abraham took a variety of jobs, including piloting a steamboat, but he was beginning to develop a serious interest in politics. In 1834, he was elected to the Illinois General Assembly, and began studying the law in earnest. In September 1836, he received a law license and embarked on the career that would propel him to the White House.
In April 1837, he settled in the new Illinois state capital, Springfield. Here, he met and married Mary Todd and their first child, Robert Todd Lincoln, was born in August 1843. Lincoln continued to make a name for himself as a lawyer, and in 1846 he won election to the U.S. House of Representatives as a member of the Whig Party.
Penny Trivia
The penny was first authorized in 1787.
The first penny was designed by Benjamin Franklin and was made of pure copper.
The Lincoln penny design dates to 1909 to commemorate Lincoln's 100th birthday.
The Lincoln penny was the first U.S. coin to feature a president's face.
The use of Lincoln's likeness on the penny generated controversy; some objected that Lincoln's stature required a higher denomination coin; others objected to any presidential image on coins as reminiscent of European monarchy and inconstistent with democratic ideals.
The new penny designs are the first in a half century.
Penny production has been interrupted or halted during wartime. No pennies were produced in 1815 as the War of 1812 induced a copper shortage. During parts of World War II, zinc coated steel pennies were issued in lieu of copper pennies.
More pennies are produced than any other coin in the United States.
There are approximately 150 billion pennies in circulation.

The reverse of this picture ( www.flickr.com/photos/addie-b/15531915083/in/photostream/ ). I believe the writing on the bottom says "Zur freundl[ichen] Erinnerung an dein Patenkind „Hildegard“! Weihnachten 1918." which roughly translates to "In friendly remembrance of your godchild "Hildegard"! Christmas 1918."
