A few commonalities between the penny (1 cent) and Penny:
- The penny is 232 years old, Penny’s reign feels just as long.
- The first penny had a woman, free flowing hair, symbolizing liberty. This Penny symbolizes tyranny.
- A “penny for her thoughts” is worth the same.
- Her “two cents” isn’t worth much as it used to…inflationary talking points.
- The U.S. Mint’s fiscal year 2024 report said the one-cent coin cost 3.7 cents to produce, a 20% increase from the year before. Penny’s yearly pay increases mimics the same increase.
Remember “a penny saved is a penny earned” and a “Penny saved is a lesson learned”
