Every Day is Tag Day

April 5, Saturday

Penny Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated in the United States on May 1. It is dedicated to the one-cent coin, the smallest unit of American currency known as a penny. The day serves as a reminder of the importance of even the smallest things and that small amounts of money, when put together, can make a big difference.

The penny first appeared in the United States in 1793, becoming the first official coin issued by the newly formed United States Mint. Over the centuries, its design has changed, but it has always remained a symbol of accessibility and everyday life. Today, most pennies feature the profile of President Abraham Lincoln.

Interesting Facts
Although the cost of producing a penny exceeds its face value (about 2.1 cents per penny), the coin remains in circulation due to its symbolic significance.

Some American states have discussed the possibility of eliminating the penny in recent years, but for now, the coin remains a part of everyday life.
