I started collecting pennies when I was in grade school. The Scholastic Book Fair arrived at my school where I found a three-fold penny folder. I have it in the house somewhere in a safe place. The folder resembles the one in the picture, except it’s brown and goes further back — maybe 1900? The folder had three panels containing a place for the penny along with a label of the year and mint mark, if any.
I came across many news reports stating a bill has been introduced to kill the penny. Apparently, the U.S. Mint reports that it costs more to produce a penny because the cost of zinc has gone up. Now it costs about 1.4 cents to produce a one cent penny.
No more something-99 products and everything will be rounded to the nearest five (up no doubt). The CNN Poll currently shows that 61% believe the penny should go bye-bye. Aw.
I still delight when I find a penny on the street. Are penny loafers going to be renamed nickel or dime loafers?
Write short reviews (>50 words) of local businesses and earn Starbucks
cards, then $100 for 40 short reviews. Contact me for information. It didn’t take long to get up and running. You must live in the US.
I enjoy it and it takes only a few minutes to do the first five (do five
reviews and you earn a $5 Starbucks card. Do 20, and you can get four, the max). Send an email and I’ll get back to you with full details.
