    1. this is so fucign dumb. mark my words we are going to have to put them into production again. and its going to cost us more to produce new pennies than this dumbass move “saved”

      yes it costs more than one cent to make a penny. but pennies are “spent” many thousands of times in their lifetime. making their cost negligible to their purpose.

      Would have been more interesting if we had a plan in place before Einstein decided we aren’t making them anymore. I realize we lose money on them, but stores are already asking for people to bring pennies in.

      Even though they’ve stopped making them we’ll still find them laying around in the parking lots for the next 100 years.

      Wasn’t there an old Simpsons bit that said the government only circulates pennies to obtain our DNA or was that a fever dream 🤔

      i have been on reddit way too long because i definitely thought something was being done to penises (and was prepared to be interested or outraged).

      It’s probably not for sale but I wonder what the auction price of the last penny ever made would be

    7. A few years ago Vsauce presented a custom made 2027 penny in a video and said that “this is currently a novelty item, however in 2027 it will just be a normal counterfeit penny”. Well that penny will now always be special, since there will be no 2027 pennies.

    8. Cool. So like. How long til Pennies start becoming valuable again?

      Any pennies that we should be on the look for? Any wheats?
