For this project we will need:

Choose the penny you want to use. For this project I choosed a penny with Abraham Lincoln on it.
Cut the Penny

After choosing our penny we need to cut the outline of the character on the penny which in my case is Abraham Lincoln.Don't forget to leave space so you can drill the hole for the keyholder.
Drill the Hole for the Keyholder

Now we need to drill the hole for the keyholder.
Finishing

Now we can sand and polish our character. After we can put our character on the keyholder and we are done.
