    One of the many reasons the penny should be deleted is because of the cost to actually manufacture one. The penny itself is created to hold the monetary value of the one cent, the lowest value, yet it costs 2.4 cents to manufacture each one thus making the tradeoff of creating a penny to be negative since the output is more than the input thus concluding towards a disincentive. “This, although is a small loss of money, can result in and will amount to the loss of millions of dollars over the cause of several years.” (Source A) Within today’s society, people have a hard time to buy anything with even the dollar. Even if someone is able to buy something with the dollar, the dollar simplifies to 100 pennies and since it costs 2.4 cents to create each individual penny, essentially 1.4 dollars are wasted. With America already submerged in a national debt of $18.34 billion, these costs that outweigh the benefits will not only raise our national taxes to compensate for the lost money, but will also dig into the education programs to raise funds for lost money thus cutting children’s education. “Essentially, the penny is so worthless that it does nothing but waste more money and time.” (Source B)…

    Since 1857, the penny has been changed about ten times! It used to be larger than today's quarter, says “The Ever-Changing Penny.” Though people have worked hard to get the penny the way it is today, it might be time to disscard the penny. The penny cost a lot more than it is worth, it is way too heavy to carry around, it would create a great rounding system, and without it, we can save time and money. It is a big waste to have. We should follow in Canadas footsteps and get rid of it.…

    Annoying cashiers was something my siblings and I did quite unintentionally as kids. Down the block from the street we lived on, there was a little convenience store that sold Italian ices, ice cream bars, and a variety of assorted goodies; on hot summer days, we would gather what little change we could find in the couch cushions and pay for our selected treats with pennies, nickels, dimes, and, if the cashier was lucky, quarters. That was when I started thinking about pennies. Are pennies useful? Back in the day, you could buy a stick of gum for a penny! Now, with inflation, pennies do not have the purchasing power they used to. This has led to the question of whether the United…

    Do people really need that one extra cent? People normally just leave them on the ground or in a fountain. Some people want to stop minting the penny and to never use it again, but others want to keep using the penny and not get rid of it. Some people are fighting to get rid of the penny and these articles may pull people to their side: “Penny Wise, or 2.4 Cents Foolish?”(Source 1), “Is the Penny Worth It?”(Source 2), “Give a Penny-Save the Day!”(Source 3), and “The Ever-Changing Penny”(Source 4). Some think the U.S. penny should be discontinued because it takes more than one penny to make a penny, it’s not worth much, and it’s a pain to count out when you are paying for something.…

    Whoever gives a penny to the poor for God while in good health, it will be worth 240 pennies after [his or her] death. To give a penny in sickness is worth 20 pennies. To bequeath money after death, that is worth a leaden penny, because there is no great value in giving what one cannot hold on to.…

    Making our journey to the 21st-century a question has arisen in the minds of the United States government leaders: should America continue or discontinued the penny?

    “Four score and seven years ago.” Anyone who claims to be American would know who recited the iconic Gettysburg Address. It was none other than the great Abraham Lincoln, one of the greatest leaders of the free world. Through his lasting contributions and actions he was able to guide the nation into what it is today. Ceasing the existence of pennies would mean removing the most common currency in America and disrespecting Mr. Lincoln. The common penny is essential to both American life and American history.…

    Another creation in the American society was paper currency.At first, the paper currency was not worth any amount at all. Anyone could have put any amount on a coin or bill and people would believe that was worth of the currency. This was not working out because money had no value which led to confusion of the value of money. Some Americans were "crying out for a paper currency” (http://shaysrebellion.stcc. edu/shaysapp/person.do?shortName=abigail_adams ).This quote supports the feeling that the Americans had on paper currency because they believed if they had a printed document that states to be owned and published as their own, it would lean on toward of being independent from Britain.…

    How to Love Coins

    • 5 Pages

    This piece is a poem and biography written using the writing style of Judith Beveridge in How to Love Bats to show something that I love, coins, and how they represent a link between all humans and the history of the life we all share and have gone through. This story contains many ideas that are similar to Judith Beveridge’s poem however they are from my point of view and imply a different conclusion and afterthought for the reader to take away. This is that each person is connected by similar life experiences and that through these life experiences we can help others not go through the same ones we did if they were bad and help them go through the necessary ones or fun ones if they were good. I show how temptation can lead us astray from main goals in our life and how if we realize this we can keep on path and fight back against temptation to reach our true goals. I drew inspiration from “How to Love Bats” because that poem gave me the structure for my poem and gave me ideas about what I wanted to reveal to the reader in mine. Judith Beveridge is trying to show in How to Love Bats that imagination and acceptance are key for people to get along and experience new things and I’m trying to get at this plus the idea that temptation is an obstacle that needs to be overcome by everybody. My intended audience is for anyone that may be struggling with temptation in their life and needs some advice or for anyone interested in coins and how they link people’s ideas and experiences together.…

    When we go to Disney World, we always make sure we pack enough new and shiny pennies and alot of quarters. In most of the shopping stores you can make your own character quarters or pressed pennies. We pack our quarters in the mini M&M's tube containers. They are very easy to pack and quarters are not all loose in your backpack. Each container can hold about $14.00 worth of quarters. You can also store your pennies in a tube. Thanks to John for this tip!…
