Steel Penny Collection
Posted Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008 by Lizzie |
Here's a little bit of US history - in 1943 war time, steel pennies were minted due to expectations of a copper shortage. This Steel Cents Collection of 5 pennies (minted in Philadelphia, San Francisco and Denver) was never placed into circulation. The current US penny is zinc with a copper plating. Did you know that in the 1970's they considered making them out of aluminum? A very small quantity were minted but never circulated. These aluminum pennies are now considered illegal and are subject to seizure by the Secret Service. Wow!

Captured in this framed photograph, Brett Favre just threw his 421st touchdown pass. Of course this was way back in September and I believe as of this posting he is at 440. Brett Favre has thrown more touchdown passes than anyone in the history of the NFL. I'd have to say, not bad for an old man. Online Sports carries this gift idea for $59.99. |
