Lucky Penny Day 2024

    1955 Wheat Penny
I have a bunch of wheat and Indian head pennies among many other coins in a 3 gallon glass jug in my bedroom. They are the results of years of collecting coins — and I have given away a great many silver dollars to children in the family during this time.

I also had a number of gold pieces which I removed from the jar and gave to my brother in law because I had decided that I didn't want to collect foreign or gold coins.

Today is Lucky Penny Day. It is observed each May 23. There was a time when I would see a coin on the pavement in my travels and decline to pick it up. Nowadays, I retrieve it and add it to my collection depending on the condition and the date.

These are the dates I save in the jar

I believe that finding a penny during your travels is a lucky sign. I also believe that I personally can use all the luck I can get. Though it is the smallest demonination and will likely be squashed further by some dimwit globalist governmental moron thinking we need to go digital money I'm hoping these interlopers into our history and lives will get squashed themselves.

☠ Death to central banks.
☠ Death to digital currency.
☠ Death to Dick the money grubbing liar Durbin from Illinois.

We should throw Illinois out of the country because they have stupid woke public office monetizing citizens like him.

Boo !
