Description
My husband was fiddling with a penny and it automatically stood up on the counter. We thought that was pretty cool. Maybe even a sign of good luck. Once I knocked it down, he thought I would not be able to make it stand up again...you guessed it...I did...several times!!
Have you ever observed the penny? Do you know what's on it? Here are a few things included on the penny:
(a) the text "In God We Trust",
(b) the text "United States of America",
(c) the text "one cent",
(d) a pic of the Lincoln Memorial located downtown Washington, DC,
(e) an image of our 16th president Abraham Lincoln,
(f) the phrase "E Pluribus Unum",
"E Pluribus Unum" was considered a de facto motto of the United States until 1956 when the United States Congress passed an act (H.J. Resolution 396), adopting "In God We Trust" as the official motto. You will find on most U.S. both "In God We Trust" and "E Pluribus Unum."
I just learned some of these awesome facts about our "penny." Several countries are doing without the penny because it is no longer cost-effective to produce. The United States may soon to follow. Emmy Vickers,

A very belated thank you Walter Holland for the feature in your "Distinctive Images" group. I so appreciate you and all you do. I am so honored. This was a fun photo that represents the time I was spending with my husband at one of our hangout spots; the challenge he made me, and the success of the challenge on my part. Out of that, I created this scene in hopes that it creates a smile and a thought from all those that see this. Thank you again for your support and all you do!

Excellent capture, Emmy! This crisp macro demonstrates your creative impulses and your ability to grasp the beauty of what to others would be insignificant.

Thanks a bunch Clif for your comments and compliments, esp in regards to creativity. I thought this concept was kind of unique and cool. Not something you will normally see. Let's see how others feel. I would love for this one to sell. Have a great day, thanks again!
