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

Thought to be one of Australia’s best ceramic artists, Dr. Thancoupie Gloria Fletcher has had over twenty solo exhibitions, both in Australia and abroad. Dr. Thancoupie Fletcher spent her formative years near Napranum,

Initially, Victor D. Benner, the designer of the penny, had his initials printed on the right side, below the date. However, after numerous complaints of the initials being too large and “detracting from the overall design of the penny,” the government had to make a change. New pennies were created with his initials printed much smaller, and now pennies made in 1909 are very rare and valuable. After this change occurred, Americans felt as though the mint had actually listened

Towards the close of 1951, the artists working in Cheyne Row were asked to vacate their studios, the owners, in wanting to utilise all the buildings on the site. Harry Parr conceded that at the age of seventy, it was time to retire from modelling and sculptural work in general. When the time came for Parr to clear his studio during the last week of January 1952, Malcolm Parr, at home on leave from the Cameroons was there to lend a hand, recalling, It was one of those awful grey days, when my younger sister Bridget, and I helped Pa to smash all the plaster piece-moulds, he’d zealously kept over the years to make his beautiful earthenware figures. When we begged without much hope, that he should save some of them, he defended his act

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.

His indentures required him to study at evening classes under the noted sculptor Albert Toft (1862-1949) at Camberwell School of Art. At evening class, Toft taught Harradine design, life drawing, and modelling. Nominated for election to the Royal Academy of Arts (1906-1920); Albert Toft unfortunately, was destined to remain an unsuccessful candidate. Harradine was influenced by Mark Villers Marshall (1843-1912), George Tinworth (1843 - 1913), and John Broad (1858-1910) who were the leading modellers of the day. These last two modellers were employed at Doulton’s Lambeth pottery. Of all these artists, Harradine perhaps owes more to Broad, and whose style he is thought to emulate. Harradine was self-assured, with a broad outlook on life and a warm humanity. Out of his indentures at the Doulton studio, his former instructors accepted him as their equal. At times, he could also be rebelliously outspoken by the constraints of the factory

Recently, there has been news regarding the debate of the penny. The U.S. and Canadian government believe that the penny is a nuisance and takes up space in cabinets and dressers. They believe that the penny should be taken out of the system. However the penny is a great influence on American culture, yet it causes a fortune to manufacture a single one.

Why do people hang on to things that have no value or use? Why can’t people learn to just let go? Often people think that just because an item has been around for a long time, that it needs to be treasured regardless of its worth. This is true of the Canadian penny. I think the Canadian government should eliminate the penny from circulation. The penny is not valuable to many Canadians anymore and we could make better use of the financial gains if we stopped making and using the penny.

The penny has a lot of history, through the 200 years the penny changed design and value. Based on the article “The Ever-Changing Penny.” The first pennies were minted in 1857, they were very large, larger than a modern day quarter and had different images of the statue of liberty on the front(4). With this example, one can see,there were several visions for the penny before the final product of the Abraham Lincoln penny in 1909. The history of the penny reveals more than just a coin, it exposes a piece of american culture. The penny has influenced our language, giving us a number of idioms, such as “A penny for your thoughts” And “Not one red cent”(4). Despite its cultural influences the penny is under attack currently, the reason? Because making the penny also costs money, more than its worth,in 2011, it costs the U.S. more than 2.4 cents to produce the penny. The History of the One-Cent piece is a curious one. How long it will remain a part of your spending currency is yet

DACA was created by the Obama administration in June of 2012 with the vision to relief deportation and giving protection to foreign minors who entered the country illegally so that they could stay, work and get education without being deported to their country of origin. DACA has been entitling to controversy and uncertainty since the Trump administration because this action provides the recipients the opportunity to receive a two year renewable deferral of deportation, a work permit and benefits provided by the government. This action has been rescind by the President Donald Trump on September of 2017; more than 800,000 recipients (known as DREAMers) are left with concerns, worriers and fears of being deported to their country of birth because their families, education, friends and life is here in The United States.

Louis Comfort Tiffany, an American artist, and designer, was born in New York City in 1843. Tiffany, the son of Charles, who was the founder of the jewelry firm “Tiffany and Co.,” began his career as a painter and then expanded to design and direct his studios in order to “produce lead-glass windows, mosaics, lighting, glass, pottery, metalwork, enamels, glass, pottery, jewelry, and interiors” (“Louis Comfort Tiffany Stained Glass Art”; Frelinghuysen and Obniski). Beginning in the late 1870’s the decorative arts and interiors caught Tiffany’s eyes and he began exploring and trialing with stained glass (Frelinghuysen and Obniski). As years passed he introduced blown-glass vases and bowls called “Favrile.” The

The Royal Canadian Mint Corporation is one of the most technologically advanced minting operations in the world. Its headquarters is located in Ottawa and its manufacturing plant in Winnipeg.

Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters all have steel cores. Over 15 million coins are plated each day for Canadian and foreign circulation.

How will I make the best of my time at Colorado Christian University? The same way I have made the best of the rest of my life. You see, I am very much the anomaly of almost every statistic on troubled teenagers. My childhood was not a pleasant one, as my mother’s second husband was not a very nice man. Because our family fell through the cracks in the Child Protective system, I found myself in a precarious position very early in life. Despite being a good student in high school, I was at the age of 16, a teenage runaway. While living on my own and working full time to support myself while finishing my junior and senior year in high school, I made every attempt to complete my education. However, life did end up getting the best of me, and I ended up dropping out of high school in my senior year, just three months shy of graduation.

Laptops are for everyone these days, they have several advantages over the tablet or cell phone. The first advantage is simple, the screen is larger on a laptop. This may not seem important for everyone, but for those suffering with vision loss it can be the key to accessing the internet and performing basic tasks. The consumer must be careful about screen size, because most of a laptop 's weight comes from the screen. If you plan on using one primarily at home, then this is not a concern, however it can become an issue for those who travel and need a laptop for business purposes.
