232 years ago the first United States penny was struck at the Philadelphia Mint. The original design was a woman with flowing hair meant to represent Liberty. The Philadelphia Mint is also where the final penny was struck yesterday under the observation of U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach.
Today I attended the final penny strike, symbolizing the end of penny production and the return of common sense.
