Abe Lincoln has been on the penny for around a hundred years. It’s time for a change. What kind of people are on government money? For the most part the people featured are heroes. George Washington, Ben Franklin, and Sacagawea are only three of the well known men and women important enough to put on money. Abe Lincoln was important too, but he is already on the five dollar bill. It’s time for a change.I would like to see Walt Disney on the penny. The all time question bearer, a.k.a. children, ask parents often who people are. If they see the new penny with Walt Disney on it and they question who he is they will find out that he is the creator of many of their favorite movies and one of their favorite T.V. channels. Then when they ask who George Washington was and they find he was the first president of the United States of America, they will learn something very important in life. They will see that you don’t have to be the President to be important in life. It’s a good lesson for the children.
Also, Disney would be great for the penny because its fun. Who wouldn’t want to see a picture of Walt himself with maybe a character or two behind him? Disney just makes you feel good. That’s why so many people take at least one trip to Disneyland or world in his/her life. If we could have the magical feeling of Disney in our pocket maybe we would value the penny so much more.
Yes, ole’ Abe is just fine for the penny but we should mix it up; even if it’s for the heck of it!

I didn't expect to see this as a person but it's great and true. It would set a good example to children that you dont just have to be a president to be well-known and important.
good idea!
awesome suggestion, good reasoning behind it, disney has been a major influence on children, with some of the most timeless stories and movies, Pinocchio still one of my favorite movies of all time.
