“Economists have long known that it is not just the amount of money, but also the speed with which it circulates, that affects the price level.”

I found a 1919 wheat penny in my pocket this morning and I’m keepin’ it. Just doing my part to keep inflation down...

Wheat pennies used to be my dad’s favorites to collect - boy that brings back memories!!

He used to take old pringle cans and collect pennies in them until they were full, but he had a special pringle can just for wheat pennies. I should ask my mom what he did with those...

It’s probably got more copper in it than the current batch!
