It just bothers me...

Penny saved, is a penny earned.

Regardless of what collectors and the general public call it, the Mint should refer to it as the cent, IMO, instead of by the name of Sky King's niece.

 

Fun stuff to chat about.

Kripes we think alike.........

 

Let us not forget The Penny Lady's cute little cat named (of course) "Penny"

Let's include, by reference, the quotes in my signature as well.

 

If an experienced collector wants to call it a penny, have at it. I guess what irritates me are the ignoramuses who join the site to find out how rich their "rare penny" is going to make them -- and then want to argue after being told it's worth one cent.

 

We watched the same kiddie TV shows.

 

My original post referred to the Mint referring to it as a penny in their sales literature. They are the manufacturers and the Cent is one of their products. It seems to be "off message" for the Cent as a brand, if you will.

 

I got that in the mail too

 

I don't really care what anybody calls the coin since everybody knows what you're talking about.

But NEW-CUE-LAR kinda drives me nuts!

 

It's just part of the cents history. Several of our coins have more than one name.

 

knock-knock-knock, Penny
knock-knock-knock, Penny
knock-knock-knock, Penny

Sorry, couldn't resist that. No disrespect intended.

 

I'm old and crotchety too but it doesn't bother me. almost everyone refers to them as pennies. "A penny for your thoughts": "Pennies in Heaven, etc. Have fun with our hobby.

 

Every week it seems there is a new thread about a bronze 1943 or a 1969 S ddo. And then there are those who refer to there coins as stamped. I think that stuff bothers me more than calling it a penny.

I find the amateurs who refuse to believe their coin isnt valuable, to be comical.

 

Dollar bills are non-cents!
In fact, so is all paper currency! ;-)

 

So, should "Penny loafers" be called "Cent Loafers"? If you find a cent and put it in your loafers, would it still be lucky?

 

old and generally crotchety would be my view...lol
