Happy Birthday, Abe. It has been one hundred years of the Lincoln cent and this year there will be a change, in fact four reverse changes. Next year another reverse change. Speaking of changes I was at the mall today and noticed a number of candy machines. You might have seen them. The ones that have large clear ball with candy or gum inside. You put your money in and pull the lever and out comes some candy. I looked at the price on the candy machine and noticed it read 25C. Ah penny candy for 25 cents. I guess a cent does not buy anything anymore. Except a thought, a penny for your thoughts. Not much. How about 25 cents for your thoughts? There was a time when finding a cent meant something because you could buy something with it. It could buy a bubbble gum with a cartoon comic inside or a piece of candy. Go back further and buy a newspaper or an amusement in the Penny Arcade. Years ago you would pick up a cent from the ground . Would you do it now? I just hope I would not throw my back out, then that penny would cost a lot more. Happy Birthday anyway Abe.
