According to the article "7 Reasons to Get Rid of the Penny," one difference between pennies made in 1909 and pennies made today is:
A. Pennies made in 1909 contained <u>mostly copper</u>.
- "7 Reason to Get Rid of the Penny" is an article by Jeff Nilsson in which he explains why pennies are not worth being produced any longer.
- Nilsson explains that pennies were introduced in 1909 for the centennial of Lincoln's birth. Back then, they were made of 95% copper.
- Because copper was valuable then, a penny was actually <u>worth 2.5 cents</u>.
- Nowadays, pennies are only 2.5% copper. Also, a penny is <u>worth 1 cent, but it costs 1.8 cents to make.</u>
- Therefore, that is one of the reasons why<u> producing</u> pennies is <u>not worth </u>the trouble anymore.
