The U.S. Mint stops minting pennies today. New pennies will be a thing of the past.

Some places are already having issues with not having pennies.

@nuthatched I'm selling my 2012 penny for $100, no lowballs, I know what I've got, cleaned in coke before you get it so it's shiny.

And I just saw a sign on at the store saying there’s a penny shortage…

Yes

The "Brady House" is a real house in North Hollywood they used for exterior shots for the tv show. Some of the original cast got together to pay for renovations to make the inside of the house identical to the set. That photo is from the renovations. There's a campaign on to make the house a national landmark.

You can see what the house looked like before the renovations here.

So that's a steel penny! I've never seen one (until now).

Did it say anything about rounding up the pennies?

Someone made a doll house version of the Brady house.

Did you guys have to climb a rope in gym? I don't know anyone who actually had to do this.

When I was a kid there were only FIVE dinosaurs: tyrannosaurus, brontosaurus, stegosaurus, triceratops, and pterodactyls (I know there were technically more than that but those were the only ones that got talked about). They were were all plain gray without colors, spots, stripes or feathers. Dinosaurs have gotten really weird over my lifetime.

Now they're finding new species from fossilized throwup:

"New pterosaur species discovered in previously overlooked specimen of dinosaur regurgitalite."
