upcycleBB entry for etsy
so etsy is having a contest that has you make stuff out of stuff that would normally be discarded or thrown away. i chose the noble penny (since i already had ideas for a big penny necklace before this contest, the contest gave me an excuse to take the time to make it). it was also one of my goals for winter break to actually get an entry into this contest. i made it, but just barely with a few minutes to spare! let me know what you think!--------------------
Think a penny wouldn't get thrown away?
[Pennies] get thrown away to such an extent that the Mint made 8 billion new ones last year--far more than any other coin--at a cost of roughly $100 million...
--Time Magazine 7/10/2006
Nearly a third of Americans want to eliminate the penny entirely. Scores of articles and editorials have endorsed the idea, and at least one US congressman has tried twice to make it happen.
--The Phoenix 10/13/2006
Forty-seven percent of 18- to 34-year-olds admit that they've thrown away a penny at least once in their lives.
