Pennies for your thoughts

Post by Olympusman »

My wife was going through some jewelry and opened this pendant. Inside was a miniature penny.

And here's my two cents on the 1943 steel wheat penny. In 1943 pennies were minted from steel to save copper to manufacture brass for shell casings.

Interesting. It seems this was a novelty item of sorts many decades ago.
