The One-cent Coin

The coincidence. Yesterday I tried to teach Becks money conversion. She asked what it meant by 100cents being equivalent to $1. So I told her it's 100 of 1-cent coins. She asked me how it looked like and I went to search for one. I couldn't find any at home...and I started to wonder where they had all gone.

Today's article reported contrary to my situation. 600 million are still out there kept by people!
"A penny saved is a penny earned" (Benjamin Franklin?) I guess.
