Worth a penny, unless uncirculated or proof. Some collector might buy it for more, though. As of mid-2009 there have been no reports of "mule" cents dated 2009 but carrying the Memorial reverse. However many 2009 cents are still in bank vaults because demand for coins is down so if any were accidentally struck they may not have reached circulation. You'll need to have the coin authenticated by a dealer or appraiser who's familiar with errors. It could also be a fake coin made using the same machining techniques that produce all those "rare" magician's coins with 2 tails or 2 heads.
It's worth 2 cents for its copper content.

On Lincoln cents dated 1959-2008, the reverse shows the Lincoln Memorial.
There's no such coin. The first Lincoln cents were made in 1909. Also, any Lincoln cent dated 1958 or earlier will simply say ONE CENT on the back. The Lincoln Memorial design was first made in 1959. Please check your coin again and post a new question.
Please check your coin again. Wheat cents were made from 1909 to 1958. All cents dated 1959 to 2008 are Lincoln Memorial cents. If it is a 1978 Lincoln Memorial cent, it's only worth face value in circulated condition.

Abraham Lincoln was born in the year 1809, He died in 1865. You probably saw the date he was born. The mint can only make coins of a president when he is dead, so the earliest date would have to be 1865 and the Lincoln Memorial wasn't built until 1917. So if it had the memorial, then at the earliest time it would have had to be made is in 1917. This coin is probably 1 cent. Look for the date it was made by the right side of his head. It should say the date and then a S should be under it.
The law preventing collection agencies from collecting post dated checks is the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. You can learn more about this at the Wikipedia.
