Doh, I picked the wrong one. I was close though, the one I picked is exactly like the real one except Abe is facing the wrong direction.

I also lucked out and nailed the correct one..... It is an interesting experiment to see how many people don't know the details of the things they use everyday.

I didn't get it. They're so very similar, and there's lot of choices. Also, not a lot of people pay attention to pennies anymore. But a neat game, thanks.

I had it narrowed down to 2 and went and picked the wrong one. At least I got close.

I might of had a better chance if I'd lived in America for any decent length of time... I'd like to see that done with a good ol' British penny.

I didn't even know what a American penny looked like and I got the right one, I just randomly picked "A".
