Have you ever looked at a penny?
...Can you pick one out of a line-up?

I couldn't.

1. LOL...they got me...
I was going to pick the right one, but my old self-doubt came in, and I chose a wrong choice. Typical for me in life!

I guess when you have to count and watch every penny you have, you learn to recognize it well. ;)

10. I got it right ... but then again ...
... living under this administration, I've become more and more accustomed to this coin. Particularly since I have to pinch every single one of them that I find.

15. I sort my pennies and keep the older ones so I got it right.

Because I make change at my job I look at a lot of pennies. I keep the all copper ones because the copper in them makes them worth more than a penny.
