Penny Ornament – “We Lost Our Cents”
A simple penny, a powerful message, and a moment in history captured forever.

This handcrafted Penny Ornament commemorates the end of the U.S. penny as we know it. Featuring a real penny set into natural wood, the front reads “In God We Trust – The Year – We Lost Our Cents”, honoring both tradition and change. The reverse details the historic moment when the final penny was minted due to rising production costs.

More than just an ornament, this piece is a conversation starter and a meaningful keepsake — symbolizing change, resilience, and the closing of a chapter. Whether displayed on a holiday tree or kept year-round, it marks a unique moment in time that will never happen again.

Perfect as a gift for history lovers, collectors, or anyone who appreciates the sentiment behind even the smallest things.

Each ornament is thoughtfully made and finished with care, creating a timeless piece meant to be treasured for years to come.
