Lincoln has been memorialized in many city names, 
notably the capital of Nebraska; with the Lincoln Memorial in 
Washington, DC (illustrated, right); on the U.S. $5 bill and the 
1 cent coin (Illinois is the primary opponent to the removal of 
the penny from circulation); and as part of the Mount Rushmore 
National Memorial. Lincoln's Tomb, Lincoln's Home in Springfield, 
New Salem, Illinois (a reconstruction of Lincoln's early adult 
hometown), Ford's Theater and Petersen House are all preserved 
as museums, the nickmane for the state of [[Illinois] is "Land 
of Lincoln" since he was from the state..

On February 12, 1892 Abraham Lincoln's birthday was declared to 
be a federal holiday in the United States, though in 1971 it was 
combined with Washington's birthday in the form of President's 
Day. February 12 is still observed as a separate legal holiday 
in many states, including Illinois.

Lincoln's birthplace and family home are national historic 
memorials: Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site in 
Hodgenville, KY and Lincoln Home National Historic Site in 
Springfield, IL.

The statue of Lincoln that is furthest south is outside the 
USA - in Mexico. A gift from the United States, dedicated in 
1966 by President Lyndon B. Johnson, it is a 13 foot high bronze 
statue in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico. The USA received a 
statue of Benito Juárez in exchange, which is in Washington, 
DC. Juárez and Lincoln exchanged friendly letters, and Mexico 
remembers Lincoln's opposition to the Mexican War. There are 
also at least two statues of Lincoln in England, one in London 
and another in Manchester .

The ballistic missile submarine Abraham Lincoln (SSBN-602) and 
the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) were named in his 
honor.

Famous director Steven Spielberg is currently planning a movie 
on Abraham Lincoln with Liam Neeson in the leading role.
