Well, in some cases it can make a big difference in people's lives. According to the W.M.S they had fundraised about $3000 in one week in pennies! This shows that pennies may be small and bulky but they are very special when it all adds up.]]> 2017-05-03 17:26:09 UTC https://padlet.com/7jngu828/lkwt5n8yeur0/wish/169746103 7ache606 https://padlet.com/7jngu828/lkwt5n8yeur0/wish/169747019 Pennies may be worthless but its worth more than you can count. According to source 3 "Give a Penny-Save the day", Pennies might be a little bulky, but they add up; moreover because they are worth so little, people don't mind donating them to charity."This means that a penny is worth one cent so people usually don't care about it. In many schools, they participate in fundraisers where to collect pennies for a charity. Many people donate their pennies to charities because they think it's worthless. It may be worthless, but once you add it up there'll be a large amount of money. Worthless to you but it's worth a lot to many other people.]]> 2017-05-03 17:29:31 UTC https://padlet.com/7jngu828/lkwt5n8yeur0/wish/169747019 7pbui324 https://padlet.com/7jngu828/lkwt5n8yeur0/wish/169747495 Many people will argue that making pennies costs more than what they're worth. However, this problem can easily be solved by replacing the materials to make the penny to a cheaper material. According to so urce 2, in the article titled, "Is the Penny Worth It?" the author states, "Steel, which was used to make pennies during World War II, would be a cheaper alternative." This explains that there is a possible substitute that can replace copper. An example as stated above would be steel.]]> 2017-05-03 17:30:58 UTC https://padlet.com/7jngu828/lkwt5n8yeur0/wish/169747495 7mlai729 https://padlet.com/7jngu828/lkwt5n8yeur0/wish/169748367 Secondly, pennies have been here for over 200 years. Removing this coin from our community would be like destroying a part of our history. According to source #4, The Ever-Changing Penny, it states that,"The history of a penny reveals more than just a coin- it exposes a piece of American culture. The one-cent penny has influenced our language..." This quotation states that the penny has changed us more than we thought it did. It impacted our language. Many people also need the penny for funds too.]]> 2017-05-03 17:33:39 UTC https://padlet.com/7jngu828/lkwt5n8yeur0/wish/169748367 7jngu828 https://padlet.com/7jngu828/lkwt5n8yeur0/wish/169748516 To conclude, the penny is a very important item in our lives. Pennies might be a bit worthless at first but they add up. Therefore because they are almost worthless people do not mind donating them to charity, meaning people can fundraise a lot of money out of the little one cent pennies. Overall, if pennies were taken away a piece of our world and heart would be taken away from us.]]> 2017-05-03 17:34:10 UTC https://padlet.com/7jngu828/lkwt5n8yeur0/wish/169748516
