Have you ever looked at your pennies in the giant jar on your dresser, and thought, “Man, they need to update this??” Well, you’re in luck then, because the U.S. Mint is about to.
If anyone can tell me why we have pennies, when it costs more to manufacture them than they’re worth, or why we can’t simply round up to the nearest .05 of a dollar, I’d really love to hear it. Cause what are pennies? They fill giant paperweights all over the world. That’s all they are. When was the last time you used a penny in more than one transaction? If you pay your restaurant bills with pennies, chances are, you’re probably a dick. If you pay your light or phone bill with pennies, you’re probably insane. I have never used a penny in at least the last two years, unless it’s been to throw at people in crowded bars, which could either make me a dick or insane.
So the US Mint is unveiling a grand new design, so all those pennies you have saved in jars at home will no longer look tacky and style-less. They’ll be sexy and shiny, the way pennies and extravagant lights should be.
