Summary:

The phrase "Pennies from Heaven" is from a 1936 song by Bing Crosby with the Georgie Stoll Orchestra. A film of the same name was produced.

While the penny has a rich history, it is currently being phased out and is no longer in production. With inflation and diminished purchasing power, its value has significantly decreased, rendering it practically worthless.

Most people who go to the grocery store leave their pennies on the counter in the penny cup. The next customer can take a few if they need them.

The penny was first introduced in the U.S. in 1793, when it was valued as a currency. Because of inflation, its value is no longer significant enough to be considered.

It would take many wheelbarrows of pennies to pay your federal and state tax obligations. If you spent $10,000 in taxes, you would need 1 million pennies. One million pennies would weigh 5,511 pounds. Since a ton is 2000 pounds, you will have over 2 tons of coins.

A large one-half ton truck weighs approximately 4,500 pounds to 7,500 pounds, and has a carrying capacity of 1000 pounds. You would need a very heavy-duty one-ton truck to carry 5,511 pounds to the IRS to pay your taxes.

At home, 60%, or approximately $14 billion in pennies, sit in piggy banks.

It's high time to retire the penny from production, especially considering each penny costs almost 4 cents. This results in substantial losses for the U.S. Treasury, with the only beneficiaries being the public employees paid to manufacture an item that has lost its value.
