The Penny Is Out of Luck

Timothy Mahar Season 5 Episode 261

After 232 years the penny has been minted for last time.  The impact may not be immediate, but over the long run it will be felt.  Our friend the penny, with Abraham Lincoln greeting us and giving us a sense of security.  Eventfully there will no longer be penny loafers, or just the price "of a penny for our thoughts", even though we always gave our two cents. We will have less luck, and the song, Pennies from Heaven is where all the pennies will be.  So, there's my own two cents take it or leave it, you had better take, it won't be around for long.
