Hi everyone! Penny has a tip for you today, but first Joanie wants to announce the winner of the Star Wars Giveaway.
And the winner is Mark’s Mews. Congratulations!
Hi everyone! Did you know there are some pennies out there worth up to $200,000. Not me, I am worth way more than that.
In 1943 there was a copper shortage so pennies were made out of steel, but about 40 were made of copper and some are still in circulation. In January one sold for $204,000 at an auction. To read more, click here.
Let me help you Penny. We sure could buy a lot of treats with that kind of money.
We are joining Comedy Plusβ Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Congrats to Mark’s Mews!
That is a very interesting story about the copper penny I read the article that you linked to and one thing I wonder is, if one finds one of these pennies, who do they contact about it in order to cash it in? We have a ton of old coins around here. We’ve been collecting them for years, not just US coins, but from around the world. Thanks for sharing this information.
You’re right. That sure would buy a lot of treats and a new car would be a great treat for us. π
Have a blessed week!
I am not sure who to contact, but I would love to find one. I hope you have a blessed week too. XO
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to find one of those pennies!
It sure would π
My human keeps an eye on old pennies, but she has never found one worth much.
Maybe she will, tell her to keep looking π
Grandpaw loves coins, Penny, he wants to have such a thing as a metal detector π So if you need any help with counting your pennies, just call Grandpaw…MOL π
Concats to Mark the lucky winner π Pawkisses for a wonderful dayπΎπ½π
We have a metal detector, but I haven’t had time to go searching much yet. XO
We can only look at old pennies as we do not have pennies anymore..

I bet the US will stop having them soon too as it costs more to make one than it is worth.
I love learning about the different compositions of the coins!
Us too π
Yay for the winner!!! My Dad used to keep an eye on coins. He had a bunch that he’d saved which we found in his footlocker after he passed away, some of which were worth some money. Coins are a fun hobby. I’m glad you keep an eye on your pennies Penny!
Hugs, Pam (and Teddy too)
Your Dad was smart. XO
Congratulations to the lucky winner!
Very interesting about the pennies. We used to really be interested in coins and CH’s Mom had a bunch. Good to see you, Penny… and Joanie, too!
Old coins are fun to look for. XO
I wish we had an old one, we could by lots of treats!
You sure could π
Well, we will have to check out our pennies. Wouldn’t it be fun to find one of those. Thanks for the info. Have a great day.
I hope you find one π XO
Wow, that’s an interesting penny story. We pick up all pennies off of the ground, because they do add up.
I pick them up too π
Congrats to Marks News and interesting to know about pennies. Happy Tuesday!

We’ve heard that some coins are worth a lot.
I’m going to visit the Denver Mint in a few weeks…I’ll see a lot of coins then, I’ll bet!
That should be a fun trip. π
Wow, one rare penny for $204,000! That’s a very interesting tip!

Wow, that would be quite the windfall if you could find one of those copper pennies!!! Mom says she has some old coins; maybe she needs to do some searching too.

It would be nice.
Wow, I had no idea! Imagine finding a penny like that? That would take care of our mortgage and car loan, amongst other things!
That would be nice π

Mom has some of those steel pennies but never knew about the few copper mistakes. Now she’s going to have to look!
I hope she finds one. XO
WoW! A Penny could be worth that much! Penny, I think YOU ARE worth more than that (we don’t have pennies here in Canada any more).

Penny thanks you. XO
Congratulations to Markβs Mews! You are so right about those pennies, and a few others you might find can be worth more than just a penny, but not that much. They are fun to look for and collect, though.
