Joe did his best to save his pennies, but considering that pennies weren’t made anymore, he saved his nickels with interest. He didn’t mind inflation as long as he could still buy his daily bread.
But enough of this babbling about pennies (or nickels), because this is supposed to be a story about something real. However, Joe couldn’t think of any story to tell.
He asked his muse to please, pretty please, pretty pretty pretty please, include a story once in a while with his daily bread. His muse, a malnourished pixie, demigod or whatever it might have been, told him to ask Someone who actually had a clue.

🙂 Cute story. I think his muse as the right idea! The Someone who provides his daily bread ought to be sufficient for all his needs. Blessings, Frank.

“Muse” always speaks, even if it’s through silence. It’s up to us to be open to the message.

I know I’m going to sound stupid, but are pennies really not being made anymore??

So, I heard, but I don’t really use coins much anymore either. I just asked my browser and it replied:
No, the U.S. Mint no longer produces pennies for general circulation. Production officially ended on November 12, 2025, when the final circulating penny was struck at the Philadelphia facility after more than 230 years of minting.

Wow, then what do we do with our remaining pennies? Are they no longer accepted as currency?? You probably think I live under a rock, haha.

Those pennies should become very rare. I’d keep them.

I absolutely loved this six!
The muse can be quite weird at times, I agree
I have found I need to pamper mine constantly
Otherwise, they have told me to find a new muse…
Again, loved the six and it was very relatable !
