Why does our smallest currency have to be darker than all the rest? Is it some sort of ironic joke to put Lincoln on it, too?

patina on silver can be black. 

pennies are connotatively racist/derogatory in the way that only high society or tight spenders in an

unfair economy are dependent upon or very greedy with them.

Pennies cost more to produce than they are worth and should have been stopped when the rest of the developed world stopped their pennies.

The zinc lobby wont allow that though.

True story.

Not entirely, there's a contingent of Numismatists that want to keep them too.  Probably hope to come across a misstamp and get rich quick.

It's not like they're going to be the 6th 1913 Liberty Head V Nickel.

Probably keeps them from being constantly misidentified as dimes.

Do you remember back when you actually discussed things instead of hiding behind posts consisting of nothing more than a single image chosen specifically to annoy people?

Do you feel clever when you do that, or is the feeling as empty as the content of your posts?

You know, of all the people who've been fucked by the president, i actually feel the most sorry for you.

Your multi-paragraph arguments in favor of a position now replaced by cries for help.

Sad.
