Secular penny pages that have been awarded a virtual imprimatur by the Penny Priestess.
Speaking of the lever, Archimedes boasted, “Give me where to stand, and I will move the earth.” Yeah, pretty impressive—but look at what you can do with pennies!
Other inspiring examples of what many pennies, banded together in a noble and public-spirited cause, may accomplish. Googling for “Penny Drive” or “Penny Harvest” will pull up many current penny-driven fundraisers.
Americans for Common Cents: Penny patriots intent on protecting the penny from atheistical extremists who want to eliminate it from the U.S. currency system—at grave risk to our national luckiness!
The delightfully named Penny Lovers website of an eloquent penny proponent.
A nice educational page with many links to penny history and circulation data. Useful for judging the rarity of older found pennies and for teaching the young proper penny respect and awe. Parents beware! Includes links to such impieties as squished and elongated pennies. Fortunately, these links are out-of-date and do not work. A working link is provided here for discerning adults only: The Squished Penny Museum.
On the topic of education, the penny is put to admirable use in the MegaPenny Project, a guide to visualizing large numbers—really large numbers. Haven’t you always wanted to know what a quintillion pennies would look like? Or how many pennies, stacked one on one, you would need to build a penny replica of the Empire State Building?
Lucky World details (with very nice graphics) the experiments of a penny believer who documents the luck of seven lost-and-found pennies carried first by herself and then by seven individuals at various locations about the globe, who also describe their luck following the receipt of their penny. The Penny Priestess applauds this well-meaning and ambitious effort, but cannot help wondering if it constitutes a temptation of the Penny God, who is, after all, a trickster god, and apt to withhold his gifts from those who trust too confidently in them.
See a penny, pick it up, tell the world on chippy's lucky pennies atlas. If you register with Platial, you can add your penny finds to the lucky penny map. The site also allows you to include a photo or post comments about your penny and its luckiness. Who knows? If penny believers collaborate to map the whereabouts of the world's lost-and-found pennies, we might hope to learn why some nations, as well as some individuals, are so much luckier than others.
