Happy National One Cent Day! 🎉 Did you know the first U.S. penny was minted in 1787 and was designed by Benjamin Franklin? Unlike today's pennies, which are 97.5% zinc and only 2.5% copper, those early pennies were made of pure copper! 💰

Here's a fun fact: it actually costs more than one cent to make a penny—about 1.5 cents each, according to recent estimates. Talk about a coin with intrinsic value! And while we might overlook this small change in our pockets, if you saved every penny you found for a year, you could end up with a nice little nest egg. 🐣

So, let's give a little respect to the humble penny today. Check your couch cushions, look under your car seats, and start a penny jar. You might be surprised how quickly those 'worthless' coins can add up!
