I just found an American penny in my change

[ghostsofgiants]

Now aside from this making me filthy rich, I have a question: Why is the back of it upside down?

2. Sorry. It was one of those intended...

...for Australia.

The ones made for export to Canada are printed backwards.

:evilgrin:

3. Even more perplexing...

You'll find that when you flip it over, now the FRONT side will be upside down.

Dang things are broke both ways to sunset.

5. The other day I got a Canadian penny.

At first I felt cheated, but then realized that American pennies were pretty worthless as well.

6. OK, the first time around, I read that as "I found an American penis..."

What is wrong with me?

9. I guess that question about "why is the backside upside down?" must

have REALLY thrown ya then.
