THE NORTON TTELEGRAMELEGRAM

WEDNESDAY, JULY 1, 2020 OpinionOpinion PAGE 4 Why pennies?

Why on earth do we still make and use the copper penny? This tiny coin costs nearly twice as much to make as it’s worth, but the mint Steve Haynes keeps cranking them out. It made 8.4 billion of them in 2017 at a cost of 1.82 cents, and an estimated 150 billion of the little guys are in circulation today. That fi gures to a cost of $152.9 mil- lion – and a straight-out cash loss of about $84 million. Some will say that’s just how the government does business. If General Motors did business that way, they’d go broke. Oh, wait, they did go broke. But while $84 million may be small change to a government that counts defi cits in trillions, it’s a lot of money to most of us. You have to wonder why we put up with such waste. You can’t use a penny in a vending machine anymore, not even to buy a gumball. People don’t respect a penny, either. We give them away at the store counter rather than pocket them, leaving those we get in a little tray for others to use. After a certain age, say 10, most of us won’t stoop over to pick up a penny. Something about the fact that it costs more in fuel to propel the body upright than a penny is worth today. Even the Treasury has shown its disrespect for pennies: The IRS requires peo- ple to round off tax payments and calculations to the nearest dollar, eliminating cents from income-tax forms. A penny will buy something worth a penny today, if you can fi nd something priced for 1 cent. In 1973, today’s penny would have bought 5 cents worth of candy. In 1947, a dime’s worth. And in 1913, a whole quarter’s worth of stuff – at 2017 prices. Today’s dollar stores sell stuff that stocked a 1930s “fi ve and dime.” And while Benjamin Franklin said “a penny saved is a penny earned,” remem- ber, in his day a penny was worth something. And then there are the nickels. They cost something like 8 cents each these days. There’s a real bargain for the government. Interesting coin facts: the copper penny is mostly zinc today, and it was the ris- What is the “Great Good?” ing cost of zinc that put the penny in the loss column. The shinny silver nickel is mostly copper today. Go fi gure.
