Pennies Are Like I Love Lucy — Classic, But Gone

Pennies Are Like I Love Lucy — Classic, But Gone

The penny has officially flatlined. The U.S. Mint stopped making them This week, and America is now in mourning — especially piggy banks, arcade machines, and that one guy who insists he “saw this coming in ’92.”

In this sarcastic dive into the chaos, we break down what happens when the nation’s tiniest coin gets tossed into retirement. Will prices round up? (Yes.) Will $4.99 suddenly become $5.00? (Also yes.) Will millions declare emotional bankruptcy over the missing cent? (Absolutely.)

We take a look at:
• Why the penny finally got the axe
• How retailers will “definitely not” take advantage of rounding
• The rise of penny hoarders and their unrealistic dreams of copper riches
• The Tooth Fairy’s unexpected shift to digital payments
• And why your car cup holder will still have pennies until the end of time

If you enjoy dry humor, economic absurdity, and lighthearted chaos, this story is for you.
