a whopping $120.58. I see a problem making change at Dollar General. Even silver, at $0.59 a gram, would require an annoyingly tiny coin for minor purchases. Steve, you missed a big point. A penny is basically a subsidy of the zinc industry. A penny is coated in copper but is mainly zinc inside. The reason they won’t kill the penny is the lobbyists for the mining industry who insist on being subsidized. Go figure! – Faithful Reader P. J. O’Rourke comment: As you, Faithful Reader, no doubt agree, all recipients of corporate subsidies are pirates in neckties. Let’s zinc their ship. Steve has a great idea, but what do we do about the song “Pennies From Heaven?” – An Old-Timer P. J. O’Rourke comment: I’m an old-timer myself, O-T. (Although not quite old enough to personally remember Bing Crosby singing that 1936 hit.) But it’s a great tune... Every time it rains, it rains pennies from heaven Don’t ya know each cloud contains pennies from heaven? You’ll find your fortune fallin’ all over town Be sure that your umbrella is upside down But think about if that happened today. You’d have an umbrella full of stuff that the gas station vending machine won’t take. And, even if the vending machine did take pennies, it wouldn’t be enough to buy you a Coke.
