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…

In 2011 alone the United States lost 60.2 million dollars producing the penny (Sommer). The penny is a waste of money and materials because of the millions of dollars…

This multitude of currencies created confusion and was slow to be rolled out across the nation, rendering some people completely cashless and broke until they had access to a bank to exchange their Zimbabwe dollars into whichever currency they required.

As it is today however, Canada lives without leadership from the United Kingdom, but they still are connected through the British Commonwealth. The Canadians I found the Union Jack significant enough to have it fill the entire flag, but keep it as a fade to prioritize the Canadian aspect of the Canadian flag. Secondly, I added the two known Aboriginal…
well more than a cent to make a penny. The solution, in my view, is to get rid of the penny." This means that the penny costs more to make than they are worth. The materials that are used in the penny are expensive and taxpayers lost millions of dollars for the production of the penny.

For a start, pennies cost more than they are actually…
