Year 4, Day 286, “Living the Dream”. Monday, 2/10/2025. The Wellington – Master bathroom tile is grouted. Just the sealing of it is left to do.
There is a lot of interest in eliminating the penny in the United States. I was looking at the Composition of pennies over time. I found it very interesting and thought I would share:
• 1793–1837: Pure copper
• 1857–1864: 88% copper and 12% nickel
• 1864–1962: Bronze, which is 95% copper, 5% tin, and 5% zinc
• 1943: Zinc-coated steel because copper was needed for the war effort
• 1982–Present: Primarily zinc with only 2.5% copper
Notable pennies
• 1943 Copper Penny: One of the most sought-after coins today
• 1983 Lincoln Memorial Cents: A few pennies were accidentally made of solid copper instead of copper-plated zinc
Things to ponder today! Have to leave you thinking.
