This resulted in them removing them and later putting them back on, just smaller. Nowadays pennies from 1909 are very valuable and rare.…

    Since 1857, the penny has been changed about ten times! It used to be larger than today's quarter, says “The Ever-Changing Penny.” Though people have worked hard to get the penny the way it is today, it might be time to disscard the penny. The penny cost a lot more than it is worth, it is way too heavy to carry around, it would create a great rounding system, and without it, we can save time and money. It is a big waste to have. We should follow in Canadas footsteps and get rid of it.…

    Annoying cashiers was something my siblings and I did quite unintentionally as kids. Down the block from the street we lived on, there was a little convenience store that sold Italian ices, ice cream bars, and a variety of assorted goodies; on hot summer days, we would gather what little change we could find in the couch cushions and pay for our selected treats with pennies, nickels, dimes, and, if the cashier was lucky, quarters. That was when I started thinking about pennies. Are pennies useful? Back in the day, you could buy a stick of gum for a penny! Now, with inflation, pennies do not have the purchasing power they used to. This has led to the question of whether the United…

    The penny: Everyday you find them in your coat pocket, or lying on the sidewalk. Anyone who has been to a fast food restaurant has experienced the frustration of being behind someone who is attempting to pay for their purchase off the dollar menu with 100 pennies, wasting the time of everyone else in line. Pennies take refuge under couch cushions, and are either tossed to the side or put in a jar to be eventually traded in. In this day and age, nothing costs a penny anymore. Penny candies are a dime. Vending machines, parking meters, toll booths, slot machines… none of them take pennies. They rattle around in your purse or pocket, find their way into every crevice of your car and often end up being sucked up by a vacuum never to be seen again. The mere uselessness of the coin should be a reason in of itself to get rid of this small hassle. However, it also wastes the United States millions a year.…

    Whoever gives a penny to the poor for God while in good health, it will be worth 240 pennies after [his or her] death. To give a penny in sickness is worth 20 pennies. To bequeath money after death, that is worth a leaden penny, because there is no great value in giving what one cannot hold on to.…

    “Four score and seven years ago.” Anyone who claims to be American would know who recited the iconic Gettysburg Address. It was none other than the great Abraham Lincoln, one of the greatest leaders of the free world. Through his lasting contributions and actions he was able to guide the nation into what it is today. Ceasing the existence of pennies would mean removing the most common currency in America and disrespecting Mr. Lincoln. The common penny is essential to both American life and American history.…

    Another creation in the American society was paper currency.At first, the paper currency was not worth any amount at all. Anyone could have put any amount on a coin or bill and people would believe that was worth of the currency. This was not working out because money had no value which led to confusion of the value of money. Some Americans were "crying out for a paper currency” (http://shaysrebellion.stcc. edu/shaysapp/person.do?shortName=abigail_adams ).This quote supports the feeling that the Americans had on paper currency because they believed if they had a printed document that states to be owned and published as their own, it would lean on toward of being independent from Britain.…

    How to Love Coins

    This piece is a poem and biography written using the writing style of Judith Beveridge in How to Love Bats to show something that I love, coins, and how they represent a link between all humans and the history of the life we all share and have gone through. This story contains many ideas that are similar to Judith Beveridge’s poem however they are from my point of view and imply a different conclusion and afterthought for the reader to take away. This is that each person is connected by similar life experiences and that through these life experiences we can help others not go through the same ones we did if they were bad and help them go through the necessary ones or fun ones if they were good. I show how temptation can lead us astray from main goals in our life and how if we realize this we can keep on path and fight back against temptation to reach our true goals. I drew inspiration from “How to Love Bats” because that poem gave me the structure for my poem and gave me ideas about what I wanted to reveal to the reader in mine. Judith Beveridge is trying to show in How to Love Bats that imagination and acceptance are key for people to get along and experience new things and I’m trying to get at this plus the idea that temptation is an obstacle that needs to be overcome by everybody. My intended audience is for anyone that may be struggling with temptation in their life and needs some advice or for anyone interested in coins and how they link people’s ideas and experiences together.…

    Have you ever looked into a wishing well? Well if you have you would have noticed that people only really throw pennies into the well. Many people only use pennies as coins to throw in wishing wells. “The canadian finance minister agrees that the penny is used very little he stated “Pennies take up to much space on our dresser at home.” A persuasive government brochure put it this way “ We often store them in jars, throw the, away in water fountains, or refuse them as change” (penny wise, stommer 2). Both of these people tell us that many people don't really care about the penny. People refuse them as change, they are refusing free money!…

    An example of how pennies have influenced us is according to article number four “The Ever-Changing Penny”, it states “the one-cent piece has influenced our language, giving us a number of idioms, such as “a penny for your thoughts,” or “not one red cent.” pennies have influenced us in a way that gives our lives a little more figurative language. An example of how pennies are put to good use is according to article number three “Give a Penny-Save the Day!” , it states “pennies might be a little bulky, but they add up;moreover, because they are worth so little, people don’t mind donating them to charity.” Pennies are put to good use by donating them to charity.…

    When we go to Disney World, we always make sure we pack enough new and shiny pennies and alot of quarters. In most of the shopping stores you can make your own character quarters or pressed pennies. We pack our quarters in the mini M&M's tube containers. They are very easy to pack and quarters are not all loose in your backpack. Each container can hold about $14.00 worth of quarters. You can also store your pennies in a tube. Thanks to John for this tip!…
