I cant post the pics of it. Because without permission I can't show you the resemblance. I can tell you to google this 1985 P dime struck on 1985 D penny. Here is the original and the other is darker just to show more detail in my photos.
Pennie is not the correct singular, nor is it the correct nomenclature. the Penny was a coin of England (among other nations) that was 1/240th of a pound A cent is 1/100 of a dollar. Penny - singular penny Pennies - plural penny Pennies’ - possessive of the plural of penny Pennie - not a word, maybe it’s a name Penny’s - shortened form of JCPenny Pennys - not a word, maybe a name Pennys’ - possessive of the above not-a-word
Penni - a strange spelling of a girl's name Pennis - a failed spelling of a male organ Penni's - possessive of that girl above Pennis' - a failed possessive of a failed spelling of a male organ
If we want to beat a dead "penny"... Penny is the end result of the original name of the coin, the denarius, which later became denier, and then penny. The English/Carolingian penny was made of silver at 240 to the Roman pound. This explains why 'pence' in the UK is appreviated "d." (for denier/denarius) and 'pound' is abbreviated 'L' (for libra). Now, the "cent" is, by definition, 1/100 of a unit. The latin root cent- means "hundred," in a variety of contexts (ie century, centurion, etc) Thus, there are 100 cents to the American dollar, and penny is simply an acceptable slang term.
I'm pretty sure our friend Darkrage is one of our younger members. I hope he's not a grandpa, that would be an issue.
