About the original Fugio Cent:

"On April 21, 1787, the Congress of the Confederation of the United States authorized a design for an official copper penny, later referred to as the Fugio cent because of its image of the sun shining down on a sundial with the caption, “Fugio,” a Latin word meaning “flee or fly.”  Designed by Benjamin Franklin, as a reminder to its holders, he put the message “Mind Your Business” at the bottom. The image and the words form a rebus, meaning “time flies, do your work.” This design was also used on the “Continental dollar,” issued as coins of an unknown denomination in February 1776."
