Now I can’t wait to go and visit yours and see where you are from.<br /><br />Chatty Crone – It is important to teach our grandchildren that putting a little effort into gathering lost change can become a large step toward saving. <br /><br />Snaggle Tooth – If I am forced to pass a penny by, my conscience bothers me so much. However I too will leave one in the vacuum bag it it gets past me and lie to myself that I never saw it. I’m thinking I might adopt Lynn’s plan also.<br /><br />DID YOU KNOW:<br />The cost of producing a penny today is 1.79 cents. The penny is officially called a one cent piece and we started calling it a penny coming from the pence in Britain.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-70535410769358673402011-06-15T02:42:31.797-05:002011-06-15T02:42:31.797-05:00Dustpan ok, vac bag no thanks!
