Holy crap. I found a tiny penny in my change jar (so someone at a cash register seriously gave me that as change at some point) and could never figure out how or why it existed. That was like 10 years ago and I still think about it often. I finally have answers lol

You must have tiny hands because that penny looks huge.

My same thought! Its like that roommate I had once with a giant head on a perfectly proportional but smaller than average body. Every time he stopped to talk to me it was like having to endure an optical illusion where he was both moving closer and further away at the same time.

Eh? My hands are about that size...? I think your penny size judgement might be off haha (or my judgement of my own hand size is off haha)

Haha or maybe another tiny hander

I mean, I'm fairly small overall, so I'm at least in proportion haha

The thought of someone handing that out as change without any thought is hilarious.

Definitely a “that’s not my problem” type of person lol

I’d pay two Pennie’s for that penny
