Dear JLR, you brought back a lot of memories with your contribution to this topic for the Free Versers Club.
I think the only topic you did not mention was the music.
I need to thank you for writing this, to remind me, I must post my contribution.

Comment from RGstar
Marvelous.
This was a journey in which paths may be different, but the emotions the same.
We long, and we harbour memories which are haunting, as much as they are giving and as much as they are nostalgic, as much as endearing.
You wrote with great poetic aura where it is very much free verse than prose.
Loved it.
Well done.
My best wishes.
Have a great week.
RG

Comment from QC Poet
Great poem, story and history lesson all in one hundred thousand pennie's worth of writing, Blessings and I too miss the plastic only life we now live and have always on walks with my grandkids used that old motto see a penny pick it up, all day long you'll have Good Luck. Thanks for Sharing.

QC Poet, the old sayings never die, just the things we would to teach the young.
Comment from Goodadvicechan
Those were the days pennies did worth something. People could use a few pennies to buy something. Today a penny doesn't worth anything... If people are short of one penny in their shopping, they may not have to pay it...
Like the phrase; " Save a penny for the rainy day." This reminds people to save for retirement.
Thanks for sharing.

It seems that all change and green backs are going out of style, electronic money seems to be the new thing. your poem took me back to the "Good ole Days".

I enjoyed your free verse challenge poem for the club. Your lines read well with good flow and great imagery. I like the many examples you give readers about the history of the penny. I never had a chance to buy penny candy, but that would have been fun. However, even at a penny, I imagine all had to watch their expenses, and that candy was a real treat. Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Things were not so common a thing and treats were remember, like those summer picnic where people gathered around and crank on the ice cream making machine.
Comment from lyenochka
What a fun free verse about the penny. I don't think I ever remember movies for 5 cents! Enjoyed how you used onomatopoeia in your poem and these fond nostalgic memories of the worth of a penny.

Thank you, I am certain that folding bills will be a thing of the past as plastic rules the day in most countries it seems.

Comment from Miss Cookie Atkinson
You bright a smile to my face your happy words brought back pleasant memories. Like you I still save my coins to play the scratch off lottery cards. Yes the style was to wear loafer with a shinny penny in the top of the shoes
boy how time and fashion changed

It's a piece of history being recalled nostalgically here - the currency of pennies and their multiple associations in our lives, especially in childhood when having lots of them meant something -
