What's a Pig Penny?

A Pig Penny is an elongated coin made to promote my hometown of Lexington, North Carolina, including the "World Famous Pork BBQ" we are known for, historic local sites, & local businesses.

They are made from pre 1982 uncirculated copper pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and dollar coins.

In previous years there were 3 2007 designs and 4 2008 designs.  The 2007 designs include the 2007 Pig Penny (Retired), Smiley's BBQ, and Southern BBQ (Retired). The 2008 designs include the 2008 Pig Penny (Retired), Old Davidson Co. Courthouse (Retired), Smokey Joe's BBQ, and Smiley's BBQ (2nd different design).  All designs are still available.

Please check out all of the pages to see everything we have available!
