Good Morning and welcome back to another summer week!
Found out the Lincoln penny is 100 years old.
Now, for many, the penny, which, by the way, is the longest-running U.S. coin still in circulation, is nothing more than a nuisance.
You get pennies at the Wawa after buying a cup of coffee. They then sit in your pocket until you either put them in a bank or leave them on the counter. 'Wait, I have a dime. Darn it, it's not a dime, it's a penny.'
For others, though, including a 4-year old girl I know, pennies are gold. They might as well be million-dollar coins. The penny offers everything in the world that is good.
This girl, with curly hair by the way, won't ever pass up a penny.
"Look, Daddy, I have money. Do you want some money? I'll give you this one."
Why don't you keep it? Put it in the bank.
"Here's some more money! Woo, Hoo. Do you want some?"
Her older brothers, on the other hand, can't be bothered by pennies. Even if they did, the pennies would go immediately in their pockets.
"How many pennies do I need to buy a car?" asked a certain 7-year old recently.
Well, probably about 20 million.
"Then give me a dollar instead."
Anyway, see a penny, pick it up and all the day you'll have good luck.
