old penny

Yesterday, I bought a cup of tea for myself and my TA, from an on-campus snack spot. Little did I know that among the coins returned to me in change, at that time, was a penny from 1940! I found it at bedtime, just as I emptied my pockets and got into my pj’s. I noticed it when I saw on the back there was a profile of King George 6th, instead of the Queen. Amazing, that this penny is still in circulation, eh?

and now, I must get back to marking essays…
