If you’re like me, you hear something is being discontinued and you immediately ask “should I hurry up and buy some?”
Enter The Penny.
I’m old enough to remember the thrill of finding a wheat penny in our tub of change at home. I knew it was always worth a little more than an actual penny, but at the end of the day, how much are we really talking? 10 cents? Eventually it just got filed under “a cool thing to see every once in a while.” Like a buffalo nickel. As an adult, I now buy rolls of wheat pennies off eBay to bury in my lawn and use its copper properties to ward off mushrooms.
