"Red Penny" is a term often used to refer to a specific type of coin, typically a one-cent piece made of copper or copper-plated zinc. These coins are notable for their reddish hue, which comes from the copper content. The most famous example is the Lincoln penny, first minted in 1909, featuring the image of President Abraham Lincoln. In addition to its numismatic significance, the term "Red Penny" can also symbolize luck or good fortune in various cultures. Collectors often seek out rare versions of these coins, such as the 1909-S V.D.B. penny, which is highly valued among enthusiasts.
