I've been there 3 times myself, but was either marching or just viewing the institution outside.

Also cool to see the Smithsonian museums and the Libraries of Congress as someone not originally from the DMV area.

(plus, the White House).

ℹ️❌Pathetic waste of money, considering the NICKEL 🪙 costs more to manufacture than the penny, but GO OFF 😏

www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Stopping penny production - absent ANY federal guidance - is actually hurting U.S. small businesses.
US Treasurer: My two cents? By getting rid of pennies, America is putting taxpayers first.
At the Treasury Department, we respect tradition. However, tradition in and of itself is not sufficient to justify ongoing losses.
