useless username @uselessusername.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Back in my day, we had little coins called pennies. "Give me five pennies for a nickel," we'd say. On one side was a picture of Abe Lincoln and on the other side was another, smaller, picture of Lincoln. 7982170
Kara Chameleon @sasooli.bsky.social · 06/07/2026They were named 'pennies' after British pennies. A British penny is worth one penny, whereas of course a US penny is worth one cent instead. 080
DogDadBod @dogsdadbod.bsky.social · 06/07/2026So little we thought of these little coins that we'd pay a whole dollar to crush and enlogate just one of them in a machine inside most every state park gift shop 2260
