                  PENNY WISE!

   Welcome to "Lucky Penny Day!" Remember

the old saying :Find a penny. Pick it up and all\

the day you'll have good luck." Actually that's

suppose to apply to a penny you find with the

heads side up. There;s a lot of history behind

the penny. The name "penny" came to us from

England. Our first penny was minted in 1793.

It was said to have been designed by Benjamin

Franklin, the man who came up with the saying

"A penny saved is a penny earned." They were

originally as big as a half dollar and 100% copper!

They aren't worth quite as much as they used to

be. Remember when you'd go into a candy store

and have your pick of the penny candies available

then? Inflation has taken a toll on the once proud

penny. There are those who believe that loved ones

who have passed sometime leave pennies on the ground 

as a sign they're still with us. Certainly a penny has

value when you have to use it in a pinch as a screwdriver!

Hope you've got or find a lucky penny today. That's my

two cents worth. How about you? A penny for your

thoughts! Hope all your NEWS is good!
