My country got rid of the penny 😔

westyvw ,

I am not a fan of emojis in online conversation, but this time it does change how I perceived what you wrote. You are not happy about this? I would be so damn pleased if my country got rid of the penny.

But... but how will I convey my emotions through the medium of the interwebs? 🤔😯

PyroNeurosis ,

Here I was thinking this was another security question scam.

Gork ,

Shouldn't the other penny behind the front one be rotated a bit prior to punching so you can actually see the minted year without having to pull up the front penny?

It'll look a bit janky but at least it'll follow the intent of the post.

Ephera ,

I'm guessing, it won't be offset like that most of the time...? I mean, it is theoretically possible, if that hole isn't round, which is hard to tell from this picture, but that just seems rather inconvenient for a key chain.

Cents since 1982 are mostly zinc with a thin shell of bronze. They'll rot badly if compromised with a hole.

Grass ,

I've never seen/heard anyone refer to them as cents referring to the physical coin rather than the value and calling the coin a penny

aBundleOfFerrets ,

If you want to be pedantic, the use of cents in that way is incorrect.

toynbee ,

But it makes so much sense!

Could always use a nickel, they're a nickel copper alloy IIRC which should be more resilient.

Edit: I'm dumb, older nickels don't have a date on them. Quarters or dimes should work though.

And historically accurate

Add a nickel for the year you had triplets.

Pretty sure that's a federal offence.

Nope. Destroying currency in a manner that does not constitute fraud is not illegal in America.

Oh, I meant putting a hole in Abe Lincoln's head.

Yeah. John Wilkes Booth definitely committed a crime.

Sexy title.

Really hope the couple is two tall lanky bearded guys.

You could really confuse a British coin from 1952 to 2022 and really confuse people….

Makes me wish JFK was on a coin.

At least it's not the side of his head the bullet exited from.

You're in luck! The Kennedy half dollar, minted since 1964.

LemmyKnowsBest ,

Up until about 3 years ago I had always that it was JFK on the dime. Turns out the dime is Roosevelt or something.
