“That will be two dollars, ninety-nine cents, please.” For American consumers, this is a phrase heard quite often. The purchaser will proceed to pull three dollars out of their wallet to receive a shiny penny back. Although currently the lowest denomination coin of the U.S. currency, the penny has a long and illustrious history.

How often in your everyday life use the penny? The United States government is debating on whether they should continue making pennies or if they should lay it to rest. Many people believe the penny should stay while others think it should be abolished.

Alongside that I have also given my best effort to try and see things from other perspectives. There is always another way to look at life and all of its bits and pieces and I love challenging myself to do so. Frankly however, it is far from easy.
