NO LONGER A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS
By: Derek Varsalona
Does this make any cents? It is no longer a penny, for your thoughts. During the Super Bowl, President Trump ordered the US Mint to stop making pennies. I am sure the people in Illinois will be making a lot of noise over the Lincoln elimination.
In a surprise move President Trump during the Super Bowl asked the US Mint to stop making pennies. The making of pennies cost more than 2 cents per penny to make.
I think this is a great idea. The penny is a placeholder. But it comes to me as a surprise that a Republican would kill Lincoln as Lincoln freed the slaves.
The question I now have is would the penny be accepted at most locations? That has yet to be seen. As of right now, the Penny is worthless. As always comments accepted.
