FWIW, we all know it's a cent, the US never struck a penny. Simply foreign numismatic propaganda... Chuckle, answering with "US Penny" when a military sentry asked "what's the lowest value US Coin" might have gotten you shot in WWII Eurpoe or Asia.
Let's not go down this road again lol... Reminds me of a MST3K episode where some Russians were posing as American soldiers... when asked their unit, they gave one based in Chicago... "So you must have seen the Cubs play?" to which the bots commented... "Yeah, they won!" "Ha! Caught you commie!"
