Ferguson isn’t a book where you will likely reread after the first read instead you will be saying “Is it finally over?” “The Ascent of Money” by Niall Ferguson explains how money came to be in our society by starting off where we see the first use of currency to the end where money has become something we can’t even touch. As a person who isn’t interested in the history of money but interested instead of looking at the numbers going up, I believe “The Ascent of Money” by Niall Ferguson gives a…

Introduction: For this lab, the two main topics are surface tension and pennies. Pennies are a part of the US currency, which holds a value of one cent. They were mostly made by copper until 1982 when the government realized the expenses of using copper; thus, the composition was changed to 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper or copper plated zinc. It has a diameter of 19.05 mm and a thickness of 1.52 mm and is forged using four procedures: Blanking, Annealing, Upsetting, and Striking. The design of the…

The U.S. penny has been around for a long time. A version of the penny was the first currency ever issued by the United States over two hundred years ago (A Brief History of the U.S. Cent, n.d., para.1). In the past, it was a very important part of the nation’s financial infrastructure. However, its value in today’s economy is highly debatable. In fact, the penny’s very existence could soon be just a footnote in the history books. Why is the penny on the verge of disappearing? The reason is…

Most people tend to believe that one person is not able to make such a big difference in the world. Well, this belief may be long lost nowadays and especially with the United States 2016 Elections. Donald Trump triumph has not only made a difference in the United States stock market, but at the same time it has made such an impact globally. The three aspects that were mostly affected globally were the exchange rates, the stock market, and the future of the country. Miriam explains that “During…

The influential people seen on our nation’s currency should not be replaced but acknowledged and appreciated by anyone obtaining cash. Remembering the leaders who established our nation is far more important than having a favorite president on our money. Also, the process of changing faces is expensive and time consuming. The layout and design of our money is a symbol of our nation’s history, morals, and foundation. If leaders like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and…

My peers, currency is one of the cornerstones of modern society, but I ask why has the penny remained for hundreds of years while several other coins the United States has minted disappeared? Why must we continue to produce coins which are worth less than nothing? Why did the penny not die out in 2006? Why do we make coins that simply aren’t worth someone’s time and money? The penny wasn’t always the smallest unit of currency that the United States used, there existed a coin known as the…

It is not the easiest to find something good to do with a dollar. You can’t even buy anything at the Dollar Tree because with tax, you are spending $1.07. You could buy a Ricker’s soda, I guess, but that’s not really going to make an impact on anyone’s life. With my dollar, I decided to exchange it for one hundred pennies at Payless. Why would I want a hundred pennies? Well, I took those hundred pennies and spread them all across Muncie, Indiana while I was at shopping on Friday. I put all the…

These complicated blockchain gizmos confuse me. I scratched my head and with my limited brain cells, the best I could come up with was this: There was Steemit, which was an onboarding currency. Then there was Steem Power which was a voting rights thing. Lastly, there was Steem Dollars, which was a currency…

Penny's? Do we really need them? all we do with penny's is either throw them away into fountains, ponds and even on the ground or we just store penny's in jars, boxes, bags. There is no reason to have the penny anymore all they do is cost people money to make them, and they take up a lot of space on our dressers, wallets, counters and etc. They also take up a lot of time if we didn't have to penny we would have more time to do other things instead of counting pennies for hours of the day.There…
