A Penny For Your Thoughts

Pondering On The Penny, SW - November 12, 2025 A part of our currency the penny last day of production was today. As President Trump said no more. And just like that, the button was pushed one last time at the Philadelphia US mint. The penny must of knew his fate back in 2017(see the photo above), because its crying. This is a rare error P penny coin mind you. 

The Denver US mint has 250 billions of pennies left, so you'll still see them in circulation and they are still good, just no new ones will be created. Just image rounding up on all your purchases if you still use cash like me, in which, I always carry with me my coin purse to make exact change.

Back in the day, penny loafers(see photo below) were all the rage. And yes penny loafers are still sold and are in style today, I'll take the 8.5 Miu Miu Heeled Penny loafers in Brown, thank you.  I remember getting penny candies, a bag full for one penny. Even songs were create about the penny.  Just like this title of this blog post, 'a penny for your thoughts'. Those were the days. Gen X knows. Another piece of history died today.

 

Most folks can't relate as Apple Pay and Samsung and Android Wallets are the new styles of paying nowadays. Hopefully, one day you'll find this post and then sometime in the near future you'll miss having the right to pay using cash or even with pennies. Just another sign to indicate were are living in the end days.

In the holy scriptures our King Jesus taught us valuable living lessons using the penny for an example:

"And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words. And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it. And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's. And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him." Mark 12: 14-17 KJV

Even when they tried to set-up up our LORD Jesus Christ he taught life lessons. Also, he taught us about the women with the two mites(see photo below).

"And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.  And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living." Mark 12:38-44 KJV

 

Give the LORD YAH(God) all that you have, He will surely cover all your needs, it's His pleasure. What a glorious LORD YAH(God) we have.  Blessed be He name forever more. 

I'll blog back later.

Shalom.
