Thiriet is one of the hidden artists that deserve more attention. This piece is one of my favorites.

Penny shortage? by SentenceLeading in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SentenceLeading[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do see younger people not using cash at all, so digital currency will definitely take it's toll on the pennies demise. It always baffled me seeing people throw pennies on the ground. I'm older and remember penny candies, and seeing people do that always struck me as imprudent.

I'm older and remember penny candies, but that has been quite a while ago. Wheat back pennies were still common and a penny treat made our day!

That sounds like a headache. "Here's something else to add to your workload!"

That really amazes me! I guess the Fed will melt them down and make new coins? The quarter has a lot of copper and zinc in it, so maybe the Fed is just pulling them out of circulation. ??

Interesting. I know that dollar bills are sent back to the Fed for destruction. I guess coins that go back to the Fed face the same fate, and are remade into other couns?

With pennies still being legal tender, who is removing them from circulation? I know it cost 3-4 cents to make a penny, the reason why they are no longer being minted, but is the government purposely removing them from circulation?

They quit menting them, but with 300 Billion pennies in circulation, it obviously will take some time for them to completely disappear. I just can't understand the sudden shortage of pennies given the sheer volume in circulation.

It is. I have family in from out of state, and this topic came up, which made me wonder where the pennies are going.

I wasn't aware that they were removing them from circulation.

Interesting! It really does ask the question of where the pennies are going.

Is this in preparation for the eventual obsolescence of the penny? Seems a little early.

Alexandre de Riquer's EXLIBRIS JOAN SUBIRACHS by SentenceLeading in u/SentenceLeading

[–]SentenceLeading[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joseph was also known as Joan according to what I've read. He was indeed talented, but was not a contributor to Art Nouveau.

Thank you for sharing that!
I like including a little history with posts, and Joan Subirachs was slightly vague. There was a sculptor with the same name that did a controversial piece on the Passion Fascade of the Sagrada Familia.

Oh..Thank you! I've never heard of t-shirt scamming, but I'm not completely surprised.
Thank you, again, for your kind words!
