Rolled aluminum into a big ball and -- can't remember -- maybe cashed in somewhere? Left over from war effort, I think, Gwen.

A new shiny penney is our prettiest coin! How can we dump them??!! And how will kids play “Hit the Penney?” Oh wait…they don’t anymore. Just looked it up, there are actual videos showing how to play!!😜

Find a penny, lose a penny. It's one of those things you could spend days thinking about. But what's going to keep me up at night is wondering what your dear mom, Winnie, do with those little foil pieces from the cigarette packages?

A penny for your thoughts. Now it has to be a nickel for your thoughts? Let’s hope not.

Great read, Fred. I second the motion to keep Abe Lincoln. I still pick up pennies and keep a piggy bank!
