- "7 Reason to Get Rid of the Penny" is an article by Jeff Nilsson in which he explains why pennies are not worth being produced any longer.
- Nilsson explains that pennies were introduced in 1909 for the centennial of Lincoln's birth. Back then, they were made of 95% copper.
- Because copper was valuable then, a penny was actually worth 2.5 cents.
- Nowadays, pennies are only 2.5% copper. Also, a penny is worth 1 cent, but it costs 1.8 cents to make.
