The last penny was minted today

[Other]

After 232 years, Philadelphia pressed the last penny today.

It cost 4 cents to make that 1 penny today.

The original penny from 1793 looked like this...

Lincoln wasn't added until 1909, and the head of the coin saw various iterations between the original design.

Somewhere in Armenia is a monastery from the 1100s that has a well. In that well is a 1983 minted penny and a wish made by me as I softly whispered the Jimmy Eat World lyrics, "somewhere I made a wish, on lucky Denver mint."

Spoiler

It didn't come true, and I got cancer

So let's bid farewell to the penny on this future trivia question date.

I still have a small Mario coin tin filled with pennies, mostly Canadian. After they stopped producing them I began hoarding lol.

I like coins. I don’t need special editions, I just like seeing how they change over the years.

We should force the worst prisoners to make them. It'd serve as a reminder to not get caught

Damn inflation. It used to be a penny for your thoughts but now it's at least a nickel for your thoughts

Y'all finally caught up to Canada. Congrats.

LOL 4 CENTS to make 1 CENT. Really think about that for a few minutes and everything that this one simple fact encompasses and what it proves and means. At this point, I cant really hate on the dirty jew fraudsters who infiltrated our our country and others for their own benefit. Genius actually....but extremely furiating at the same time.

It's disputed whether a £ used to be the value of 1lb of Sterling silver. Anyway 1lb (Avoirdupois) of Sterling silver is now ~ £594.

Picture unrelated, I just thought it looked cool:
