I said something like wow, I didn't think anyone bothered to pick up pennies anymore. She looked at me with great dignity and humility and softly said "pennies add up", and I realized that she had probably fed her children with found pennies, maybe just a gallon of milk or a loaf of bread, when she had nothing else. I felt like a complete fool and have picked up every penny I've seen on the ground since then. Many would call her a welfare mother, but she taught me a valuable lesson and I have infinite respect for her.

Pre-1965 quarters and half dollars are 90% silver and have been hoarded for decades. Today, the copper center of coins is more valuable than the face, especially nickels. There is also a real concern than the private federal reserve bank may collapse and their banknotes will become worthless. At least the coinage is worth the value of copronickel it is stamped into. Pennies made after 1982 are plated zinc and worthless.<br /><br />I commented here months ago warning people to stash some coins. We may need them for trade. It looks like my idea wasn't original.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-44217496754623146842020-07-22T08:06:12.948-05:002020-07-22T08:06:12.948-05:00Never, ever, tell Sid Salter "a penny for you...Never, ever, tell Sid Salter "a penny for your thoughts."In for a Penny, In for a Poundhttp://www.boyfriendtv.comnoreply@blogger.com
