new pennies?

[Shady Digger]

I got these in change at work today. I had no idea they were minting new pennies. The front of them are the same as regular lincoln pennies, the backs are different. Are there more types than these two? What exactly is on the back and what's the significance?

I hate to disappoint you, but once a coin leaves the mint it is used They haven't reached NJ yet either

The other 2 aren't released yet from the mint except in 2009 mint sets which I believe are sold out.. the last one in the series will be released in Oct in Washington D.C. Hopefully I can make it an buy me a box or 2...
