The 1945-D Wheat penny was desgined at the behest of President Theodore Roosevelt, who lamented the lack of artistic merit in U.S. Currency. Roosevelt originally chose sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, a noted sculptor, to design what became the Wheat Penny. However, when Saint-Gaudens passed away, the job fell to Victor David Brenner. Roosevelt felt that the new cent should honor his fellow Republican Abraham Lincoln because of the impending 100th Anniversary of Lincoln's birth, which came in 1909.
Both the obverse and the reverse of the Wheat Penny were designed by Victor David Brenner, who featured a profile of Lincoln on the obverse along with the word 'Liberty' and the motto 'In God We Trust'. The reverse of the features two ears of durum wheat, which give the coin its common name, as well as the Latin phrase 'E Pluribus Unum,' which means 'out of many, one.' The inclusion of Brenner's initials on the reverse of the coin also caused significant controversy upon the release of the Wheat Penny. Due to a public outcry, stoked by a bit of yellow journalism, the initials were removed from the coin until 1918, when they were placed on Lincoln's shoulder next to the rim.

You could very well find one in circulation for face value with enough searching (looking through rolls can help increase your odds a bit). If, however, the thrill of the hunt isn't a motivation for searching pocket change and rolls for an example of a 1945 Penny, you could easily buy circulated examples for 5 to 20 cents each from just about any coin dealer specializing in U.S. coins. If you aim to include uncirculated specimens in your collection instead, you won't need to spend more than about $5 for a decent Mint State specimen.

As a footnote, 1945 Pennies are not made with the usual 95 percent copper, 5 percent tin and zinc composition common for most years of Lincoln Wheat Penny coins. All Lincoln cents struck from 1944 through 1946 were made with metal from recycled shell casings deriving from use during World War II. So-called 'shell case cents' of this era are made with a composition of 95 percent copper, 5 percent zinc (no tin).
