The U.S. ended production of the penny Wednesday, abandoning the 1-cent coins that were embedded in American culture for more than 230 years as symbols of frugality and the price of a person’s thoughts but had become nearly worthless.
When it was introduced in 1793, a penny could buy a biscuit, a candle or a piece of candy. Now most of them are cast aside to sit in jars or junk drawers, and each one costs nearly 4 cents to make.
1-4¢? Eh, make it $2 nobody will notice. /s
Sounds like how McDonald’s decided to update their pricing when “record inflation” was all over the news.
I’m not gonna lie, I wish In-N-Out was more widespread. Their pricing is leagues better than everyone else imo.
It’s still only $10-11 for a combo meal there. And it’s consistently good every time.
