History

A couple days ago I got a 1946 wheat penny as change at a check out counter. That is a pretty old coin. I got a quarter from the 60's a few months ago and was pretty excited about that. Imagine where this penny has been over the coarse of its life. Maybe we should install little memory chips in our money just to record what all happens in its travels. Money is a dieing form a transactions anyway so it probably would become less and less interesting as time goes on. Oh well this penny goes into the collection to be passed on to hopefully many generations of my family to imagine and dream about times past.
