According to “7 Reasons to Get Rid of the Penny," what is one difference

Answer 1

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 mostly copper.

• "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 worth 2.5 cents.
• Nowadays, pennies are only 2.5% copper. Also, a penny is worth 1 cent, but it costs 1.8 cents to make.
• Therefore, that is one of the reasons why producing pennies is not worth the trouble anymore.
