This is my 49th week’s submission. The theme is common object.
Title: “ A Penny For Your Thoughts ”
Description: In the USA, this is our lowest value coin. Many don’t value the penny. It is common to find pennys on the streets (if you are looking). It is so undervalued by some, that they won’t take the time to pick one up. Others, when they find a coin know that it is a sign that someone that died is thinking of you.
The saying “a penny for your thoughts” surely was started when a penny could purchase something? These days you need hundreds to buy stuff.
Save your pennys!!

Interesting! A penny is worth 0.71 bucks in my country and that is of no value here either. As the value of money increases, coins (penny, cents, etc..) go down in value ☹️

Went to a neighboring city and while walking from a shop to the car found 3 pennies. I was not too proud to stoop to pick them up! A penny saved is a penny earned!

Well, that’s a lot of pennies. It’s true people don’t seem to care about them. I save mine up because they eventually turn into dollars. Every penny counts!

Interestingly enough I was looking into the vaule of some coins and game and travel tokens I have.
Miss cut or off die coins (The face is off by 20 or 30%) or double stamping of the die could be worth something – well to collectors of that kind of thing anyway. 🙂
I save wheat pennies. Not that they are valuable, but just that they are older. 🙂 Occasionally I’ll find a silver dime or quarter. But not often.

I was sorting through these pennies about 4-5 years ago. Then I stored them and will have to start all over again. lol

Get out your magnifine glass and check the dates and imperfections – you might have some valuable coinage 🙂
