Penny

In today’s world we hardly ever use change so why don’t we just get rid of the penny. since the penny is worth less than all of the other coins we should just get rid of it. People would rather use a dime,nickel,and a quarter. Because you can purchase more items with a quarter than you would with penny. Pennies have a major factor on what you buy at the store. So if we got rid of the penny it would change the price in the things you buy. Gas prices would go up and nobody wants to pay a high…

Simply saying penny has been around for many years would be a blatant understatement; it has been etched into society as a reminder of perhaps the greatest president the country has ever seen.

Not only would the expulsion cause a brash disregard of history, it would also cause major inconveniences for the American populous. A reform of the monetary…

The Lincoln Penny To most, the Lincoln penny is just a burden weighing down our pockets. Most people don't even give it a second thought, just one more thing to keep track of. But what people don't know is that the Lincoln penny has gone through numerous changes regarding the design honor and composition.

This includes how we view and use the penny in our everyday lives. Its value, convenience, relevance, significance. The famous coin…

This process cleaned all of the dark corrosion spots away and made the copper color shine like new, which then allowed us to have a clean surface to experiment on. This was mostly a physical change but their was a slight chemical reaction because of the acidity of the vinegar. We then heated granular…

recent years, the lowest level of currency, the penny, has been questioned for its worth to the American people. Even before we only paid with tap or Apple pay, the penny’s value has seemed to be rather questionable, at just one hundredth of a dollar. After all, if you came across a penny heads up on the sidewalk, chances are, you’d leave it for another person to pick up, perhaps a child who believes the penny to be of any worth. Although keeping the penny in the American economy would be of use…
