The last time I experienced an economics cliche in real time was a few weeks ago, when I spotted $5 in cash on the street. 1909 Lincoln Penny (VDB Matte Proof ) 1943-S Lincoln Penny (Bronze) 1958 Lincoln Penny (Double Die Obverse) 1944-S Lincoln Penny (Steel) 1943-D Lincoln Penny (Bronze) Read on to find out what makes these 16 coins the most valuable U.S. 'A penny saved is a penny earned' is a quote often attributed to Benjamin Franklin, however, he didn’t coin it.In his 1737 Poor Richard’s Almanac, Franklin delivered the line: A penny saved is two pence clear.And later, in the 1758 almanac, he wrote a version closer to the saying we know: 'A penny saved is a penny got. I left the pennies where they were, though. It suddenly comes to me-this is what they mean when they talk about “picking pennies in front of a steamroller.” That’s exactly what I was about to do!Īfter a brief moment of indecision, I bent down and picked up the quarters. #PENNIES IN TAPEDECK DRIVER#There’s no way the driver can see me if I’m bending down behind the rear wheels. The change is on the street, and, as I’m leaning down to pick it up, I notice there’s a parked car, right in front of me, with its engine running. #PENNIES IN TAPEDECK PLUS#(Remember-the patties cost $17.25, so I had three quarters in my pocket, plus whatever happened to be there already.)
