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

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.

The arrival of Arthur Phillip’s first fleet in 1778 and the following arrivals of convicts and free settlers during the nineteenth century has been known as ‘the settlement of Australia’ a term believed to be a racial and cultural bias. Due to our history being dominated by the white man, and the influence of the concept of ‘terra nullius’, we are brought up to believe, from a European point of view, that the settlement was peaceful, and lawfully correct. However, being recorded as the first nation genocide, the word invasion best suits this colonization. In 2017 this argument is still debated, as protest and outcries attempt to force Australia to change its national day from the 26th of January to another date, as many indigenous

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 archaeologists brought all the remains of Queen Rosalina and King Kastan to North America in Washington D.C. in the Smithsonian Museum.

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.

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

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.

4.  Even though the 50c coin often has a different image, why does it still serve to reinforce the point Craig was making?

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. So we pile up all over her to see what she pointing out. My eyes tell me it’s a chunk of glass cracked with something heavy, and different-color inks dripped into the splits,

Though this was never confirmed and the artifact was found with other artifacts dating around 1670-1720. However Phelps never tested the ring. And in April 2017, it was announced by Charles Ewen, who tested the ring, found that it was all brass and not gold. Ewen said it’s probably a common item that was traded to the Natives after lost colony disappeared (Lawler). This was yet another dead end in the quest to mystery of the lost

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

Life. Four simple words that makes us. Life, I believe, is when you take a leap of faith or when you get to know who you actually are. Everyone is different in one way or another. They may like something that you may not like, or they might enjoy different ways of entertainment than you. Either way ignoring all of that all of these things make us who we are, it makes us human beings and it makes us. I know for a fact that I'm not like other people, I am very different and different in a wonderful way. In life and throughout you get to know who you actually are, you get to find out what makes you smile and what makes you sad. Thru the past fifteen years of my life I have learned many things about myself but there are still many more chapters in my life, but so far I learned many useful things that are gotten so far to where I am and hopefully to get me where I want.
