Adding copper pennies to the vase helps preserve the flower and help it live longer. A copper penny could be used as an antibacterial agent. It helps the flower stay alive longer because the copper prevents the fungi from growing in the inside, which could kill the flower. The help of the penny copper means that there will be none or limited fungi which is one factor why the flower could die faster.

There are much more ways the flower could die but the penny is one way to help preserve the flower. This natural antibacterial agent works like an acidifier, which prevents the growth of bacteria because bacteria cannot grow. The

Pennies aren't significant. A quote from the text, “Pennies take up too much space on our dressers at home,” (Sommer, Paragraph 3) This text basically tells the reader that pennies are significant to people's homes. The readers can also infer that the penny is a waste of space because of their worth.
The complete waste of time and money spent producing these pennies just to be forgotten in the couch cushions is astounding. If every penny is 1.8 cents to produce than the government is giving away 800 million USD every single year. The same article says, “...10 million new useless items punched out by government workers who could be more usefully employed tracking counterfeiters.” In other words, the government isn’t only wasting money on penny production but, also a working staff. U.S. currency could be more protected if it wasn’t for the pesky penny.
They take up space on our counter tops and in our drawers. Pennies are too heavy when carried in a bunch and not effective to ship out. Because of this, military bases have been rounding to the nearest cents instead of pennies because it is more efficient. So that is another reason that pennies should be
Symbols in Looking for Alaska. In John Green’s novel Looking for Alaska there are many symbols ranging from cigarettes to flowers. The symbols in this novel play a major role in helping to better understand the novel and it’s meaning.
The density of the penny was 4.68 g/cm3 before the experiment and 4.43 g/cm3 at the end of the experiment. The density of gold, though, is 19.3 g/cm3. Since the densities of the penny and the gold are different, the penny clearly did not change into another element. The gold color of the penny was a result of the flame that it was held above melting the zinc that it was coated in with the original bronze colored coating of the penny, creating an alloy with a shiny yellow color. Since neither of the pennies, silver colored or gold, changed densities throughout the experiment and each retained their own properties; the properties of copper; no new elements were
In Source #2, the text states "Pennies are "too heavy and not cost-effective to ship,”" You may ask, "what does cost-effective mean? Well cost-effective means "producing desirable results without costing a lot of money" (Source #2). As we can see, they cannot produce pennies without more money than the pennies

Off with the Head The penny is one of America 's most iconic coins, but yet people toss them once in their possession. Most thoughts about the penny are more negative than positive. Lewis, Mark’s passage (Source A) shows the reason is has not been banned yet. Kahn, Ric’s passage (Source B) explains the penny was only good in its prime, and now is wasting our time.
From the beginning of Nickel and Dimed and Scratch Beginnings, the question posed is the same: “Does the American Dream still exist in the modern America?” And while liberal and conservative commentators will openly contradict each other and argue the viability of making it from almost nothing in this modern age, all that is hearsay. Ehrenreich and Shepard, the authors of Nickel and Dimed and Scratch Beginnings respectively, tried to go beyond what the commentators were doing and prove whether the American dream was still alive by embarking on their own separate case studies. And while, it is imaginable that anyone can rise from rags to as, Shepard stated “[to] slightly better rags,” the how to do this is the item in question. The American
That is why I am supporting the retirement of the pennies. With me supporting the retirement of the penny I have some evidence on why the penny should be retired. One piece I have is in the article it states that it costs 11 million dollars to make pennies in other countries. That it is a lot of money being used even though the penny doesn’t really get used, it just gets pushed to the side and never gets used. They could be doing more with the 11 million dollars.
That just shows how I'm right about getting rid of the coin. I know taxpayers don't don't want to keep wasting their money on the penny. Pennies serve in today's
