Who Designed the First American Penny?
By GovMint :
The first American penny, known as the Fugio cent, was reportedly designed by Benjamin Franklin in 1787, though this remains more myth than confirmed fact. The Fugio Cent features a sun and sundial with the phrase "Mind Your Business" on the obverse and a chain of 13 links representing the original colonies with the motto "We Are One" on the reverse.
