The United States Mint will hold three public coin exchanges for collectors and the public to exchange their currency for rolls of the new Lincoln "Professional Life" One-Cent Coin on August 13.

A coin exchange will take place immediately following the coin's launch ceremony in Springfield, Illinois, on the grounds of the Old State Capitol.  The ceremony begins at 10:00 a.m. Central Time (CT).
