Regarding “Penny rounding now legal in Arizona”, Arizona Daily Star, Monday, March 16, 2026, Page B1:
A quarter isn’t worth a nickel these days — so it’s no surprise that a penny costs more to make than its face value — but you know that a penny here, a penny there, sooner or later amounts to real money.
That’s why I suggest that Arizona make its own Penny.
The euro one cent coin by the way is copper covered steel. (I remember an impromptu Irish wishing well at St Enda’s Chapel in the Aran Islands. An old stone with a hollow was filled with .01 euro coins. Unfortunately the color bled and tainted the water in the basin. I poured them out.)
But the Arizona penny should be made of 100% Arizona copper …maybe instead of a penny it should be worth what it’s made of… maybe it should be a $.15 piece.
