The U.S. penny has been a standard in our currency system for almost as long as our country has existed as a sovereign nation, but due to inflation, production costs, and the changing times we live in, it is no longer a sustainable unit of currency and only serves to increase our national deficit and waste our time. When the penny was produced for the first time in 1792 by the U.S. Mint, it was made of pure copper, featured a woman with flowing hair, and was inscribed with the words “Liberty”. Since then, the design and composition have changed numerous times to reflect our changing nation. Despite its fading glory, the penny has been kept alive by numerous false lobbying fronts and a stubborn ideology, but

Why should we be the ones to pay for someone to sit around at home? The answer is one simple word, welfare. There are many reasons why people mooch on welfare, rather than going out and working. The only jobs these people are qualified for are minimum wage jobs. As Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed, worked at minimum wage paying jobs and reported the hardships that people had to go through on a day-to-day basis. A critic responded by saying, “This is simply the case of an academic who is forced to get a real job…” Ehrenriech’s reasoning for joining the working-class is to report why people who mite be on welfare, continue to stay on welfare. Her reports show there are many hardships

The three reasons to keep the penny in circulation has to do with the culture that is behind the penny, the added cost to the consumer and the history that is shrouded in the Lincoln penny. In Source 1, it states “On average, the customer will lose two and a half cents in each transaction.” This means that if the penny is taken out of circulation consumer will lose 2.5 cents a transactions. On Source 3 it also states “In truth, it is more than a coin—it is a piece of American culture.” This shows that the coin has evolved to be more than a coin, it has become a part of American Heritage. Also in Source 2 it states the “first penny in the series was created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth. His face has remained

As someone who grew up from another country, I personally find American coins infuriating. The fact that these silver colored coins have no numbers on them bother me, and I suppose a great number of tourists, very much. It remains a mystery to me how anyone can quickly differentiate between the dime, the nickel, and the quarter so easily. However, the copper-colored penny is special because it’s the tiniest one and also the easiest one to pick out among Uncle Sam’s coins. These days, this tiny coin has become a hot topic of debate on whether America should keep the penny or not.

Discoveries can encompass the experience of discovering something for the first time or rediscovering something that has been lost, forgotten or concealed. This idea is densely explored in the novel ‘The China coin’ written by Allan Baillie, in which the author expresses the many discoveries that emerge through the protagonist’s journey in search of the other half of the coin; which she had received from her father before he had passed away. Similarly, the novel ‘The Perks of being a wallflower’, by Stephan Chbosky shares relevant ideas to Allan Baillie in addition to self-discovery and personal development. Both texts present applicable ideas which deal with issues surrounding the topic ‘discoveries’ and thus are able to present a sophisticated insight to the responder.

Throughout the course of American history, many things have come and gone, but one of the few things that remains is the Lincoln penny. There have been multiple changes such as materials, design, and cost of the penny due to different circumstances.

Over the years the Lincoln penny has gone through several changes. There were numerous reasons for these changes, including cost, materials, and design. Many people don’t realize the changes that the penny has had, but I think it's time for people to know the history behind the Lincoln penny.

The Burgesses resolved to build the first American structure, the Capitol on May 18, 1699 by Henry Cary. Later on, Patrick Henry gave his Caesar-Brutus speech against the Stamp Act on May 29, 1765. In addition, it is where the Burgesses, along with the Governor's council met and is one of the oldest buildings in Colonial Williamsburg. Along with this, a Commemorative Coin was made for this building to show its importance to citizens in colonial times, citizens today, and its great connection to the motto, “That the future may learn from the past”. The two coins showed represent this building and its importance. The front side of the coin (Left) shows the Capitol building and the current year, 2016. The back side of the coin (Right) says to

The next interesting item that the kids find is a very expensive paperweight. While discussing it, Miss Moore is sure to convey that while the object is very expensive, it’s purpose is very trivial. “”This here costs $480 dollars,” say Rosie Giraffe.
