US Mint will press the final penny today as the 1-cent coin gets canceled
Back in 1793, a penny could get you a biscuit, a candle or a piece of candy. These days, many sit in drawers or glass jars and are basically cast aside or collected as lucky keepsakes.

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and I was just detained by ICE for 10 days despite being a citizen carrying Real ID. But at least I know the Oberlin Student Senate won’t be doing land acknowledgements any more.
