I'm an Aussie so excuse my ignorence, but what in tarnation is a wheatie? HH regards Nugget.

"Wheat" cent refers to the reverse side of a Lincoln penny. Shafts of wheat to represent a bountiful nation. Minted 1909 to 1957 I think. Next to one is a "Memorial" cent, which refers to the Lincoln Memorial now minted on the reverse. Hope this helps.
