I’m sure you are aware of April Fools Day today. Did you also that the US Mint no longer makes the penny. After many years about the cost of producing the coin versus the value of the finished product. In November the US Mint was ordered to stop producing the penny any longer. Some retailers have started rounding up costs to the nearest nickel when purchases are paid by cash, though the frequent use of digital purchases makes the entire point moot. My primary concern is whether in the future we will continue to celebrate this National Day as that is one of the big focus of this blog. Yeah, my priorities are warped!
