    Lincoln is on the penny and Illinois was his adopted state. Ergo you can use the penny in Illinois toll booths.

      Also the speaker was from Illinois so the vote would never have passed. And that was the only excuse Sam needed.

      If network TV wants to make a comeback, a new version of The West Wing, with Sam as President, or a candidate, would be an amazing show. One can dream.

    small fact. A penny minted before 1982, has about 3 cents worth of copper in it. The conversion Sam mentioned happened in 1982, where 97% of a penny is now nickel.

    • @wormfood868
      @wormfood868 7 дней назад

      It's 97.5% zinc, not 97% nickel; the price of nickel is almost double that of copper, it wouldn't make any sense to replace the copper in a penny with nickel.

    Two points: First, changing that one word means law enforcement can decide who gets a concealed weapon *permit*, not who gets a concealed weapon. Second, he says that like it's a good thing.

    We shouldn't eliminate the penny. We should eliminate the nickel. I've worked several jobs with cash registers, and it's always been the nickels that move the least.

    • @dogberry20
      @dogberry20 5 дней назад

      You can't figure out why that would be a bad idea? Pennies cost a lot to produce. When they get them, people hoard them, and they mostly just get returned to the bank after sitting around for decades. Removing the nickel and keeping the penny would mean that you need to make tons more of them to sit around unused. Nickels don't move because you're only ever going to give people one of them at a time, but remove them, and you'll have to give people five more expensive, useless pennies.
