Makes me wish JFK was on a coin.

edit: I'm fucking stupid, you guys.

[-] ImInLoveWithLife@lemm.ee 25 points 4 months ago

You're in luck! The Kennedy half dollar, minted since 1964.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Up until about 3 years ago I had always that it was JFK on the dime. Turns out the dime is Roosevelt or something.

[-] imaqtpie@lemmy.myserv.one 7 points 4 months ago

Too soon.

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

JFK printable head shot

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

At least it's not the side of his head the bullet exited from.

Cents since 1982 are mostly zinc with a thin shell of bronze. They'll rot badly if compromised with a hole.

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 months ago

I've never seen/heard anyone refer to them as cents referring to the physical coin rather than the value and calling the coin a penny

[-] aBundleOfFerrets@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

If you want to be pedantic, the use of cents in that way is incorrect.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

But it makes so much sense!

~~Could always use a nickel, they're a nickel copper alloy IIRC which should be more resilient.~~

Edit: I'm dumb, older nickels don't have a date on them. Quarters or dimes should work though.

And historically accurate

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

Shouldn't the other penny behind the front one be rotated a bit prior to punching so you can actually see the minted year without having to pull up the front penny?

It'll look a bit janky but at least it'll follow the intent of the post.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

I'm guessing, it won't be offset like that most of the time...? I mean, it is theoretically possible, if that hole isn't round, which is hard to tell from this picture, but that just seems rather inconvenient for a key chain.

[-] blackstampede@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

Now do divorce

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

that one's easy. Just throw the junk keychain into the trash.

[-] TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

My country got rid of the penny 😔

[-] westyvw@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I am not a fan of emojis in online conversation, but this time it does change how I perceived what you wrote. You are not happy about this? I would be so pleased if my country got rid of the penny.

[-] TheDarksteel94@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 months ago

But... but how will I convey my emotions through the medium of the interwebs? 🤔😯

[-] owenfromcanada@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Pretty sure that's a federal offence.

[-] ch00f@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Nope. Destroying currency in a manner that does not constitute fraud is not illegal in America.

[-] owenfromcanada@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Oh, I meant putting a hole in Abe Lincoln's head.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Yeah. John Wilkes Booth definitely committed a crime.

[-] gnomesaiyan@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

There are literally companies that makes penny presses for souvenirs, one such site explaining why it is legal...

Add a nickel for the year you had triplets.

[-] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 months ago

Here I was thinking this was another security question scam.

[-] TheWolfOfSouthEnd@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 4 months ago
