I just bought my first pair of penny loafers in 30 years. (Yippee for the Target sale!) I positioned a shiny penny in each shoe so that Lincoln's eye can peer out--I mean, is visible through--the thin slot. A few weeks ago my 14-year-old daughter Emmali sewed a penny vest for me out of material displaying piles of clip art pennies. She included a pocket where I can carry my special 1973 cent. And then I also have my penny earrings, purchased at the Denver Mint two years ago. A little penny obsessed am I? Possibly. But at least I am still sane enough to don my "pennywear" only during my Penny Project presentations. Outside of those, I favor copper-toned clothing and always carry a penny in my pocket that I can whip out at a moment's notice to share its story. It is doubtful that I will ever develop an affection for other currency; after all, I really do not look good in silver. Same for green. Besides, what would become of my penny loafers?
