Please quit posting pics of the 1969s penny!!!!

I'll second that. People are never going to stop calling them pennies, even experienced collectors.

Okay, so it makes more sense to call them cents?

 

Yes, that's what's on the reverse. lol

 

Yes, but where did the term "penny" come from? Certainly there must be more to it than "penny candy".

 

The Mint makes cents and it makes no sense. But they sent a cent to Penny, who likes to link-on (Lincoln) to the CT site to show her pennies, creating a distinctive Mint-y scent in the air.

(Alright, I'm embarrassed to admit to how long I worked on this, but I'm extremely bored today, so I consider it time well spent! )

 

It makes cents to me!

 

Good job! Worth your time and effort. Now if only someone would clue me in on my question about clad 1964 dimes.

 

This original post is why I collect tokens !

 

Look at the screenshot from the Mint I posted earlier.

 

Did you start your own thread?

 

I tried and thought I had been successful.

 

I am laughing at your comment. Can't help it.

 

Ever collect or look at Large Cents. Some time of them have the fraction on the reverse to represent their value. It's a 1 over 100. In Colonial days it was One Penny. English Money circulated in the Colonial period and their money was not called Cents but Pennies. Then you have nails and they all go by Penny. A 4 or 6 penny nail. Lol The term Penny or Pennies came from Colonial days but Cents in on the coins today. The back of a Nickel has FIVE CENTS.

 

Words mean something. "Pennies" hurts my eyes and ears. Why not let new collectors say/do anything they wish. That's the way the entire country is being dragged down by Progressive opinions.

I don't hate the Mint, they are a government organization that has to sell things to everyone breathing. The intelligence, knowledge, desire to be correct varies for those customers who range from rock-dumb to genius.

News flash: MOST EMPLOYEES AT THE TREASURY DEPT ARE NOT NUMISMATISTS! Since C E N T is on the reverse of these coins...case closed. Now, everyone can decide to crawl around with the "rocks" or stand with the numismatists.

As for wasting my time picking them up, check out how many cents interest you earn with a $5000 checking account. I pick up every cent I see!

 

Your coin is a nice 1969-S and still worth 1c any day.

 

If you think you have one, post away, someday you might get lucky!

 

Good grief.
This guy is playing with us.
He needs to be banned.

 

And you guys are playing along!

 

Why are five cent coins called "Nickels" when that word doesn't appear on any of them? lol

 

You might want to try again. You posted it on your own profile page. Few will see it there.
