Penny

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 pennies heads up so when someone goes to pick it up, they’ll get good luck. I ended up putting most of them in the Muncie Mall but I also put some in…

The Life Story of the Ten Dollar Bill It’s a windy spring day and you have decided to buy an ice cream cone. As the employee at the ice cream cart scoops your chocolate ice cream, you search through your purse to find money that will pay for your tasty treat. The smallest bill you have is a ten dollar bill. As you pull it out of your purse, the wind takes the money out of your hand. You chase it and finally get close enough to stomp your foot on top to stop the wild chase. As you pull it…

Pennies Do we really need pennies? Are they worth all the extra money we spend on them? I don’t think they are. I think we should get rid of the pennies. Although pennies may add- up they are a waste of money. You can’t really buy anything for just one cent anymore. In my opinion it’s “Dull-witted”. Pennies cost more than what their worth. This has been a problem for many years. I honestly think that pennies are worthless. Pennies cost us about 600 million dollars a year (at the most).…

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…

pay for products will have to pay more because the prices would go up.People want to get rid of the penny because know one cares about them, since no one even bothers to pick them up when they are seen on the floor.

Last year I participated in a found raiser called Pasta for Pennies.

I was in charge of making announcements to 5th period classes of their rating in the school compared to other…
