A Penny – For Your Thoughts

Spotted this beat up penny in the Buzzy’s Country Store parking lot the other day and paused to see if was showing Heads or Tails so I would know whether or not to pick it up.  However, it was so disfigured that I had a hard time determining if it was displaying a Head or a Tail.  

After a couple moments spent trying to ascertain just what the penny was showing, it dawned on me “Why am I doing this?” 

Concluding that it was a Heads, I pocketed the penny, made my way back into the Store where I hit the ole WWW and learned the following:

Not sure that this explanation clarifies much.  However, I have made a life decision that from here on out, my penny picking up days are over.

P.S. I also found this photo in my internet travels and just may have to put such a display up in Buzzy’s.  Of course I will have to ensure that all of the pennies are facing Heads up.
