Penny For Your Thoughts? Not Anymore! [Doof]![]() "Pretty Penny was her name, she was loved and we all will miss her". End of an era Death of the penny - US Mint set to make final coin after Trump decree The penny is about to drop in America - for the final time. Do you care? Does this affect your life in any meaningful way? Probably not. As society moves rapidly into cashless environments, many people don't even carry paper money, much less coins. With so many pennies still in circulation, it will take a long time before they disappear forever. Will that even happen? Eventually. But what about prices? The Penny Is On the Way Out. Can You Still Buy Something With It? With the Treasury's announcement, which came at the behest of President Donald Trump, the anti-penny side decisively won the battle over pocket change. And bipartisan legislation has been introduced in Congress to remove any doubt about the legality of the Treasury's move. In April, a group of Democratic and Republican senators proposed a bill that would officially end penny production, and require retailers to round up or down to the nearest five cents for cash transactions. Interesting Reddit thread about the discontinuation of the penny. Reddit is a rabbit hole at best and more often than not it's a cesspool. Enter at your own risk. What will actually happen when the US no longer has the Penny? Pressing matters How many of you collect pressed pennies? Maybe your kids or grandkids do/did. ![]() It will probably take some time, but these will become a thing of the past, too. Where was the first engraved penny pressed? Before the penny enters the dustbin of history, let's learn a little more about it. The history of the Penny goes back over 1,200 years ago, as the first pennies were made all the way back in 790 A.D. The word “penny” and its variations across Europe, including the German “pfennig” and the Swedish “penning,” originally denoted any sort of coin or money, not just a small denomination. In fact, Great Britain is actually the only country to have a denomination that is officially called the penny. In the United States we have been calling our one-cent coins “pennies” for centuries, largely because our one-cent coin was inspired by the British penny. However, the one-cent coin or “cent” is the official name of the coins we endearingly call pennies today. Over 300 billion one-cent coins, with 11 different designs have been minted since 1787. Read the whole thing. Details of every version of a one cent coin going back to the late 1700s. Photos of each version there as well. DJ Doof - Penny Jukebox Version What say you, Hordelings?
