Pennies to Heaven
When our country began, metal coins were the norm. Each denomination was worth its weight in valuable metal. The silver dollar is still Constitutional money (supposedly) and it’s marked as containing 371.25 grains of fine silver. Gold was and still is the king of the hill as far as real money goes—but the penny? It too was worth its weight in copper, and in the early days it was a big slab. Actually, the word penny derives from a small English coin (denny) and the official name for it in America is a ‘cent.’ That slab of copper known as 1 cent could buy a small
Load of bread in 1800.
It now costs 3 cents to mint 1 cent. It makes no sense, but the penny never went away. The US Mint lost $85 million producing pennies in fiscal year 2024. The Democrats claim the amount is trifling, but considering the cent has been nearly worthless for decades…well, all those millions add up. Why do the Democrats want to keep us annoyed with useless zinc discs? Maybe they like to see what they can get away with—just like all the other corruption now being revealed.....
I will have less of a presence on The Torrid Tribe Community. We have very little activity here. This is a sign to me that members have found other social media resources that they are spending more time in. I am happy to see less censorship on social media in general. I started The Torrid Tribe 4 years ago when we were in a state of censorship and lockdowns. It was a difficult time and this was a haven and sanctuary for so many.
I will be lightly posting things here to give you all content to see. This community will always be open to everyone and will resurrect to its full capacity if subscribers show they want it fully operational again with full time administration.
Thank you for being a part of this community. Sending each of you hugs.
