New Penny Shows Lincoln Reelin' in the Years

New penny

Waste of money we don't have, especially right now.

Worthless penny.

I totally agree. Congress was upset with the automakers excessive spending and now they're doing the same. WHAT IS THE POINT? I understand the significance of Lincoln's role in American history, but why on earth would the Feds spend so much money during a recession. They were arguing way back at the beginning of the recession about whether or not to get rid of the penny, because it's WORTHLESS. It costs more to make it that it's worth, and now they're redesigining and making NEW WORTHLESS PENNIES!!! Who's idea was this anyway?

Penny has Definately Outlived Its Usefulness

I do not keep my pennies. It would be easier if prices ended in five or ten cents, since it is a waste to make a penny anyway

New penny...Where's "In God We Trust"?

I noticed they have taken off "In God We Trust" from the new pennies. I didn't see any mention of this. I wonder who made that decision?
