Penny

A penny for my thoughts. Pennies have been around for a very long time, roughly 200 years, and there had been many changes to it as the society grew. People were dissatisfied with its looks, the way they took up too much space and resources, and the worth of the coins. However, I think now is a good time to put an end to this one-cent coin, not just to put forth more modifications. The reasons had grown much too large and strong— pennies cost more to produce than it is actually worth, they hurt…

then answer your problem(question). How will changing the surface of the penny (by adding soap) affected the number of water drops the penny can hold?

people do not even bother to use the penny at all. Even though the penny has been in the United States history for over 200 years, the U.S should quit producing it because over time if the pennies were not minted anymore, there should be no negative price effect, in addition, the production cost is too high. The penny is hurting the United States with its expensive production cost. Pennies cost more than they are worth to manufacture. Jeff Sommer, in “Penny Wise, or 2.4 Cents Foolish?,” says,…

The idea of the elimination of the penny has been an ongoing debate for the past decade. The idea first started when the cost of the creation of the penny became public. It costs more money to make a penny than a penny is actually worth. Therefore every time a penny is created the government is losing money. It has become a shock to me to find out that the simple fix to this problem is to stop the minting process of such a useless coin, but we still continue to do so. If someone were to actually…

Donating a penny is simple but giving away something more worthy, we tend to get hesitant. People fear that they will lose more money if United States got rid of pennies, steel can be replaced to make pennies instead of copper, and collecting pennies can truly add money quickly. I think that the United States should keep pennies. First, getting rid of pennies will raise the prices on items. "Penny Wise or 2.41 Cents Foolish" says that if a cup of coffee costs $2.01, it should be raised down to…

Pennies, what are they worth? To answer that question one must first go back to the dawn of the penny. For centuries, the penny has captivated many with it’s historical significance and representation of America’s accomplishments as a nation; however, one thing that has changed over time is its commercial value. The penny was created with one intended purpose, facilitating the exchange of goods and services, but because of inflation the value of the penny has decreased making it hard for…

The Worthless Pennies What is the penny? To some its a coin, to some, its a waste of time and money. The penny should be abolished and is unnecessary in todays society. We usually throw our pennies in the road or in our car somewhere anyways so whats the point of even having them. I know that the penny is a reminder of the great president Lincoln, but the penny is just a waste now in the present. Even though pennies resemble Abraham Lincoln and are still used today, they should be abolished…

Here is your change,” the clerk says, counting out the pennies. But was that time really well-used? Why spend so much time counting pennies? For years pennies have been in danger of being canned. Too little value for the cost of production. I think that the US should stop producing pennies. Why? Because pennies cost to much to produce for what they are worth & waste time & money across the US. Pennies just aren’t worth it anymore. Pennies cost a lot. In fact, they cost more to produce…

representatives) proposed a bill to congress to remove the penny from the American currency. Although this bill was rejected, there were many individuals who agreed with the it. Looking at the proposal from a logical point of view, it would make sense to remove the penny from the American currency as it becomes a nuisance to the common civilian and it costs more to make than it is worth. Wasting the time and pocket space of the common man, the American penny still holds strong as the smallest…
