A 1996 Steel Penny???? That's what I thought at first.

As I'm waking these neighborhoods, sometimes I come across a coin. This time it was a penny, but it didn't have the distinctive copper color. Why does it look like this?

It's a very worn, normal plain-old 1996 penny. I think perhaps the copper has worn off the outer layer and revealed the zinc interior. Perhaps.

I never realized how raised the "six" in 1996 is, it almost looks out of place. It's a pretty worn penny, but fun to inspect close up to see all of it's wear and tear!

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.

Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books. I am an affiliate for Libertas Publishing, your purchase will help our family grow financially.

I have seen some error coins that came out without the copper plate, they are worth a nice sum. I never realized how far up the six was on those either. On the 2006 they seemed to have fixed the problem.

Copper coated Zinc Pennies don't do well when exposed to the elements... We'll probably return to our Old Copper Pennies, since the Price of Copper will fall below 5 Cents a Pound on the other side of the Reset...
