Trump 2028 - Bring the penny back!

[–] FloridaBoi@hexbear.net 25 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Trump will be asking who the bozos were that killed the penny

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 19 points 5 months ago (1 children)

He'll bring it back but with his face on it.

[–] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 13 points 5 months ago

His face on both sides, two heads are better than one

We used to have “penny for your thoughts”
Now we have no pennies and no thoughts

[–] Guamer@hexbear.net 13 points 5 months ago

Now all we have is penises for thots

Thats why we stopped producing them.

[–] booty@hexbear.net 20 points 5 months ago

Rest in piss, useless coin

Trump would win millions of votes if he declared every penny would now be worth two pennies

This would help get them out of circulation as well.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 16 points 5 months ago

they're going to re-value the ~~dinar~~ penny

[–] booty@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Two cent pennies would still be fucking useless

They'd have to say every penny is actually worth 50 cents for me to even bother picking them up when I happen upon them

Actually I'm not sure I would even then

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

Idk some people have a lot of pennies. Doubling 100000 pennies would be nice

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 14 points 5 months ago

With a fixed amount of penny, its price can only go up now! to-the-moon

I liked em. I don't care how stupid they were. Pennies are cute

Plus they were a great way to be an asshole!

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago

no pennies, but still daylight saving time

[–] miz@hexbear.net 9 points 5 months ago

Rest in Penny

[–] GrafZahl@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

They stop producing money and think they'll end up with more money i-cant

I once had a car with a broken cruise control switch, the catch mechanism broke or something and the button wouldn't stay pressed in. I wedged a penny in the gap next to the button after pressing it and that kept it in. Cheapest car repair ever, now that same fix would cost 10x smdh

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I have drilled holes in pennies to use them as washers.

[–] decaptcha@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That's cool.

How long before the disappearance of those machines you find in gift shops that roll out and stamp pennies with kitschy designs?

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

Good question. I have a friend who collects those stamped pennies.

[–] Tabitha@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I've seen enough washers laying around in the street to never need to do this (also I've never needed a washer in general)

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

Years ago I had this Dell laptop where the frame around the screen kept popping open around one of the hinges. I needed a washer with a lot of surface area, but only a tiny hole for the small bolt I wanted to use. Penny was perfect.

I once found seven pennies heads up and decided to spend my fortune in good luck by asking out the most beautiful woman I knew. She said no.

[–] Tabitha@hexbear.net 2 points 5 months ago

watch out for those 2 headed pennies

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

The US finally stopped printing penny? I remember there was a debate around it, some people said prices would go slightly up because of this (lol), I think the US armed forces stopped using them some years ago.

finally

rest in piss

Philly just can’t catch a break
