  • Sadly, Goodbye Pennies. Deep dive into the amazing Penny and why we think it won't be long till the penny is retired. All over the world countries have stopped making pennies. Which ones? Please watch and let us know your take on ending the US Penny.
    Here is our Penny Documentary. From Ben Franklin's Fugio Cent to the Wheat Penny to today's Union Shield back. There are good stories and scandals and hidden things to look for. It's American History. The Victor D Brenner penny, the US Mints, the American Penny 1943, the time a person was on BOTH sides of the coin, Penny Art and floors, and is the penny going away? The US Penny is in Grave Danger. Hello friends of Cutlers, old and new. Please consider subscribing. Thank you.

    I have one 1909 VDV penny, it was part of my $1.75 change from Macdonalds they gave an extra penny,but it was THAT extra penny, I told the cashier they gave an extra cent and she said oh it’s ok don’t worry,she didn’t want to reach out the window again (drive thru) and as always I put the Penny inside a jar labeled “lucky pennies” where I put all the Pennies that I found on the street or extra that get,that’s when I noticed that one looked different and after paying more attention the back was completely different and it had the initials,that coin is literally so precious to me just to think the history of that penny and the countless places and hands it has been.

    This was just brilliant. The amount of production involved and the depth of research alone should win you guys some kind of an award. Brilliant, truly brilliant. If I was still a teacher I would figure some way to show this to my classes. If I still worked at CNBC I would find someway to have them air this. It’s just the right length for a half hour sponsored segment. And those are my two cents.

    I just came here after watching your video about banned crayon colors. Just wanted to say how touching your content is to me. You tackle these seemingly mundane topics with an air of sweetness, care, and nostalgia that leaves me in a reflective mood. I am only a young adult, but the idea of the penny being discontinued makes me sad for some reason. Sure, pennies themselves don't have a massive effect on my daily life, but they are something that have always been a part of it. Thank you for your thoughtful videos. This made my day.

    When I was little I would find a penny and put it in my mouth and it would upset my sister terribly.
    She's three years older than me and was my second mom while we were little. So when she caught me putting a penny in my mouth she couldn't get me to stop so she would tell me this long drawn out tail of where the penny had been and of course she put it through everything horrible and gross and nasty that she could think of to try to gross me out and get me to stop putting pennies in my mouth. I just thought she was trying to annoy me so it didn't work and if it did stop me from putting a penny in my mouth it was so she wouldn't tell me the story again. Now, thinking back on that, it totally grosses me out that I did that. 🤮Lol! Of course I appreciate my sister for trying. I also wish I had a recording of her stories because I think they'd be pretty funny to listen to now. 😂
