That moment when Rick from Pawn Stars schools the sitting president of the United States:
"The United States has never made a penny. Most people didn't realize that. Those "damn Britts" made a penny, but we've never made a penny, we've always made a cent." 👀🔊

I like shitting on trump as the next guy but this is nothing-burger semantics
Of all the things Donald Trump has proposed, this is one of the few I would actually agree with. We should have gotten rid of the one cent coin (aka penny) long ago.
The irony is that this makes the penny scarce! Maybe one day a penny will be worth its value in metal.
I would never make an investment for a piece of copper
“Handed them out to Congressmen and other wealthy member” the closest to the money printer always make the rules - a tale as old as time
I'll never understand how some Americans can't understand metric.
Your money is metric you literally use the metric system more than the British.
A4 paper is superior in every way, but it seems Americans still prefer to measure things in hands (horses) and feet. Lol
Interesting.
We stopped making 1 and 2 cent coins decades ago.
5 cent is our smallest coin in Australia.
Every business simply rounded up or down until digital currency was introduced, they still round up or down if you're paying with cash.
When they made our currency metric in Australia it was the biggest rip off.
The silver 6 pence coin? replaced with the stainless 5 cent coin.
We had a silver 50 cent coin for one year in 1966, the next year they took the silver out of that too.
In the 70s our money become debt tokens instead of money.
(Debt tokens are now the global standard for currency)
That's why Bitcoin is necessary.
It is the digital equivalent of old gold/silver coins
Maybe if the dumb asses hadn't destroyed the currency the cost of manufacturing the currency wouldn't have exceeded the value of it.
Tis what tis.
