Find a penny, pick it up, all day long, you'll have good luck - especially if you find one on April 1st, National One Cent Day. The penny has been used in United States currency since 1793, however, the penny we know today that features Abraham Lincoln wasn’t made until 1909. There has been discussion about getting rid of the penny because the one-cent piece costs more to produce than it’s actually worth. That’s right! A one-cent penny costs 1.8 cents to make. To celebrate this coin and its long history, visit Destiny, located in the Library and Media Services tile in the Portal, to learn more about the penny and also to learn about saving your cents. #NationalOneCentDay
