Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

Wheat Penny

While I was at work yesterday, I happened across a wheat penny. I think they’re cool looking.

Not the best picture...

I remember a giant jar of pennies we had in my house when I was growing up. We liked to pour the pennies out and find wheat ones. I’m thinking wheat pennies are made with solid copper. They are probably worth more than a penny.

Also while I was at work, I took a picture of myself. I was sending it to Lauren. Don’t tell anyone I was texting during work.

I worked on re-filing for a large part of the evening.

    I was astonished at how much paperwork there is, but is a medical facility, so I shouldn’t be surprised. When my mom worked at the clinic, the sides of the hallway were lined with racks of files. (I would love re-filing. Filing is quiet.)

    Go spend that wheat penny on a sarsaparilla!

    And HOLY COW!! One wHeat penny is worth over a million! Most circulated ones are only worth a few cents….but there are some that go for a pretty penny!

    Do you remember your Knoxville Grandmother went through that jar and took wheat pennies and replaced them with regular pennies? Pretty smart ‘ole granny!!
