Find a Wheat Penny, Pick it up!

Today, while sifting through my pocket change to pay for a refill at Starbucks, I ran across a Wheat Penny. Not that that is entirely unusual, but having been absent from the States for eight years, I had forgotten all about them.


The penny dates from 1955 and I find it very intriguing that this little piece of copper has been floating around for 50 years from person to person, hand to hand, and now it resides with me. They say if you find a penny and pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck. This must be doubly lucky.

Imagine a beowulf cluster of these...

Oh, wait, different environment.

A cent. That's worth next to nothing, isn't it? Or are prices still counted in cents? (thank god we got rid of those here)
