Find a penny...
... pick it up
and all day you will have good luck.
(but only if it's head's up!)
Can you identify the "real" penny? No cheating by holding a real penny in your hand as you take the little test.

Congratulations! You've made the right choice. Most people have a hard time making this choice. You need to be able to recognize a penny when you see one. But you don't need to remember many details to distinguish it from a dime or quarter. The fact that most people don't make the correct choice suggests that we're likely to remember only enough about an object to recognize it in everyday life.
2279348 people have made this choice.

I guess I’ve been looking at them longer than most Pixies ………………. Or because the PAGANS are already saving them for the next Pixie gathering.

I got the wrong one, but I suppose I see them less than Americans... However we do have quite a few mixed in with our change here in Canada. I am curious, in the States do you find many Canadian pennies in your change?

We used to find a lot more than we do now days. I know in jobs where I handled cash they told us specifically to watch for them. But that was quite a long time ago.

In our area we see a lot of them and they are constantly being spit back by vending machines of all kinds. The banks are the ones that have the most concern as pennies, beaver nickels and queen quarters are so close to being the same, but I have a hunch it will lessen as the exchange rate difference closes.
(now how do I pass off these loonies and twonies for the right rate? )

Nope, none of them a real pennies.
A penny has the Queen's head on it.
How on earth does the penny fit into the American currency system anyway? We have pounds and pence (the singular of which is penny) and the Americans have dollars, cents and pence?! It doesn't make any sense to me!!!!

We have dollars (paper money and coinage) and cents (coinage); a penny is 1 cent, a nickel is 5 cents, a dime is 10 cents, a quarter is 25 cents, and we have 50 cent pieces or half dollars.

I just went and googled British currency to get an understanding of what you meant, Lou.
Here's how it works in the US...
we have coins....
penny - one cent
nickel - five cents
dime - ten cents
quarter - twenty-five cents
*less common coins*
half dollar - fifty cents
dollar - one dollar - (susan b anthony dollar, sacagawea dollar are the ones I'm most familiar with)
we have dollars (paper currency)
$1, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 - there is also a $2 which I think I've only ever seen in the collection in my mom's dresser drawer and never seen used.
I'm sure someone like PF will be able to chime in with the origins and how this all ties back to England, as there certainly appears to be similarities.
