    Because of the recent uproar here on CT, I have started purposely using the word penny instead of cent.

    Seems like speech-to-text fail, but I can't figure out what the speech was.

    I I'm sorry for the poor translation I'm using a speech to text software it does not work well. What I was trying to say is that the United States is pouring out more money then the coin is worth, pennies have become a blight to the point where even homeless people are throwing them away

    Of course. Make traditional bronze ones for collector sets, none for circulation, just to add color to the sets. Problem is the sausage factory such enabling legislation would need to pass through.

    Thanks for coming back and fixing it. We can sometimes puzzle through a scrambled word or two, but this time it was pretty impenetrable.

    It's not just pennies the "homeless" are tossing. I drive by this spot, at a stoplight, several times a week. There is amost never someone not standing there with a sign. It was empty this day and I had to stop at the light there. I looked down at this spot and it made me want to pull over to pick up the change. Should I just assume they have no pockets without holes?:rolleyes: 11392799_894708653898383_124894820092810518_o.jpg 11392799_894708653898383_124894820092810518_o-2.jpg

    A cent having such little purchasing power is just a symptom of a larger problem. The larger problem being the erosion of our purchasing power in my opinion. I feel that is where the real threat lies. We can't even maintain a zinc standard anymore and that is sad.

    Well, a zinc standard would just corrode, anyway. :)

    Cent is the correct word to use as the word penny is a nickname, or so Wikipedia says. I really don't care which is used or what we call it. They are both worth 1/100th of a dollar.

    Hmmm...If a cent cost 6 cents to make how can it be "worth" 1/100th of a dollar. :bored:
