I am shocked He allowed her to pick it up over a stone table. INSANE!! One drop, Value drops many thousands. Also, there are not pennies, but cents.

They aren't "pennies", they are cents. Pennies were British until they decimalized in 1970. Metric coinage was an American innovation; 1 dollar = ten dimes = 100 cents.

What really drives me nuts about this video is it isn't a penny it is a cent. The British mints pennies. The US mints cents.

I like nickels. I like old pennies though. My oldest one is a 1909 indian head and I think the oldest coin I have is a 1836 coin from Mexico.

The 1909 Indian Head Penny is rare, that was the last year of the Indian Head Penny, 1909 is also the first year of the Lincoln Penny. If your coin happens to have the "S" Mint mark for San Francisco, you have an even more rare coin.

Pennies aren't decimal, cents are. Half cents were among the original denominations of U.S. coinage as specified in the Mint Act of 1792 and were used to make change for the Spanish equivalent of one real or 'bit. The United States dollar was based on and traded at par with the Spanish dollar until 1857. The U.S. dollar had decimal divisions of 1 dollar = 10 dimes = 100 cents and 10 dollars = 1 eagle. The half dollar, quarter dollar and half cent were issued to conform to the Spanish divisions of eight reales to the dollar, or "two bits, four bits, six bits, a dollar. One 'bit' was the decimal equivalent of twelve and one half cents.

One cent in 1960 had the buying power of 10 cents today when adjusted for inflation. That means they had nothing smaller than a dime in buying power, and they didn't descend into chaos or have people wind up destitute from losing the ability to get change back of a smaller unit. Nobody even considered it. We can do the same by simply eliminating the last digit on every price. Just cover up that last number on the register with some black tape and move on. It would save the government billions by the end of the decade.

It costs the tax payer 2.8 mill or bill to make worstless change. Money could build school's better health care. Early retirement. There's old ppl 72 and above working to pay for health meds. Wake up ppl. We pay taxes we pay for every other countries problems. I believe that when you turn 62 you should get a million dollars from the government to help in your last days for helping with taxes. It would create so many jobs. So much more creative idea's.

canada??? LOL!!!

one penny may not buy anything, but remember, 100 pennies = dollar; 500 pennies = $5, 10,000 = $100. In otherwords a collection of pennies do have value. The reason the penny costs more to manufacture than it is worth is because the Federal Reserve sets the value of our money that way, debt is a good thing to the Fed. Coins are assets to the Fed where as bills are liabilities, the Fed hates coins. By the way, the Penny is retiring after 2023.

The United States has never issued a penny, those were British. The original composition of U.S. cents and half cents was pure copper, but only through 1857. The first small cents of 1856 through mid 1864 were 88% copper, 12% nickel which was changed to a bronze composition which was used from 1864 through mid 1982 with the exception of 1943.

You'd rather go back to the Half Cent? It was abolished in 1857 and everything worked out fine.

So, by “history of the penny” you mean 1/4 of the video is vaguely about the history of pennies, but the real story is a propaganda piece oriented around contemporary assertions that we eliminate it. While “nothing cost a penny” is technically true, almost everything cost prices ending in 1-4 or 6-9. If you do not want pennies, you round up the price on everything you buy and tell the cashier to keep the change. As for me, I want my pennies.

Brian Rothhammer “Pennies were British” is a genetic fallacy. The rest of what you said does not follow. Inflation is not a reason for the elimination of currency. Why not also eliminate nickels? Name something that costs a nickel. What about dimes? Gum ball machines don’t even take dimes. Most people don’t carry change. Let’s just round it up to dollars. It’s a sloppy slope to eliminate the singular unit and then think multiples of that unit will not follow suit.

The first U.S. 'Nickel' was the Three Cent Nickel of 1865. The Five Cent Nickel was introduced in 1866 and issued concurrently with the silver Half Dime. The current five cent 'Nickel' is no longer cost effective at its present weight and composition and could be replaced by an alternate five cent coin.
