NATIONAL DO SOMETHING GOOD FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR DAY
|
National Lucky Penny Day is observed each year on May 23rd..
See a penny, pick it up… All day long
you’ll have good luck.
|
|
When you are out and about, look on
the ground for pennies. It just might be your lucky day!
Years ago a penny was able to buy something. (Check out
National Taffy Day
– to see what we used to get for a penny.) Today, due to inflation, the penny does not buy much of anything. The metal value and cost of minting pennies exceed their face value. Many nations have stopped minting equivalent value coins and efforts are being made to end the routine use of pennies in several countries including the United States.
1793 – The first pennies in the United States were made of copper.
|
|
May 23rd was made for mouth-watering deliciousness.
It’s National Taffy Day!
Taffy candy has been made and sold for many years and has become a favorite souvenir of many vacationers.
|
|
Salt water taffy in was invented 1883
in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
This confection is made with boiled
sugar and butter that is stretched and pulled until it is a chewy consistency that can be rolled and cut.
The flavors range from buttery to tart to sweet. There is something for everyone. Taffy’s colorful displays have tantalized children and adults alike for generations. And, since today is also
Lucky Penny Day
, it was also one of the penny candies that once could be bought for a cent.
