Fantastic and true. What can a penny buy you? Nothing. I wouldn't mind one bit if everything I bought had the price rounded up 4 cents.

Anyway, the design is beautiful whether you get the joke or not. I look forward to buying this shirt soon. $5

I have to agree with UDTC...I just counted a whole buncha pennies + nickels I threw into a jar over the past year or so and I came out with $10.51. Granted, only $3.81 was in pennies...

Yeah, they're pretty much useless.

well...I like the title and the idea, but if I saw Abe Lincoln rising from a penny, I wouldn't think that it meant they were useless.

Too Americanized, threadless is international, i dig the design but i would never where that in Australia.
noahsdad
noahsdad on Jun 29 '06
KC- This design works everywhere! Especially Australia... American pennies are more useless there than here.

I like pennies, my friends dad saved up pennies he found for YEARS in these huge jugs, he ended up with about 300$. I also like leaving lucky pennies on the ground for people to find.
I like the sgirt anyway tho

Coming from someone who lives in an apartment where the floor is littered with pennies b/c they are good for nothing other than throwing at roommates, I think this is great. Cool concept AND good execution.

This is really cool. I like it, even though I don't really think pennies are useless. 5$
My dad has been saving up pennies in a huge glass bottle that's like those they deliver from Arrowhead.

I like the design. Wouldn't buy it for me since it's not my style, but the bf would so love it. He throws his pennies on the floor all the time, while I use them to pay the toll booths. =^_^=

hm I like it, just probably wouldn't wear it.. not big on yellow. That's just me though
nunzilla
nunzilla on Jul 02 '06
i like this but it makes me sad that everyone is so anti penny... they are actually trying to get rid of the penny as we speak... what's gonna happen when u should be getting 6 cents back as change? Are they gonna raise taxes to compensate? Will the stores just keep the extra as profit? Pennies are still essential!
Nevertheless I still really like this shirt... I guess I view it more as a homage to 'em. :)
noahsdad
noahsdad on Jul 02 '06
nunzilla- You are correct... this design is an homage to the penny. It's sure to be phased out some day due to the copper being used to create the penny is worth more than the penny itself. Good bye penny... say hello to indian head buffalo nickel and Susan B. Anthony dollar.

not a big fan of the color or the bubble font, but i love the idea.

eightmonkies- the font won't print... it's just the title of the shirt.

Very nice. Very nice. I only worry that people won't make the connection between dead Lincoln and the uselessness of pennies. A personal favorite though.

Nice shirt. I'd like it in a different color and maybe with no text

There will NOT be any text on the shirt.
impossiblejosh

listen i used to think that the same thing, why the hell do i need to pick up a penny when im cleaning. Its just a penny, i'll sweep it into the corner.

but when i went to the philipines, i saw kids digging in the trash for cans to recycle.

thats 5 cents right? 5 pennies, so i figure if that kid can dig in the trash, i can ben down my fat lazy american ass and pick up pennies and save them.

i think this shirt is more offensive than shooting JFK in the head design. Its a terrible message about how us americans are so great we can throw away money.


any how, im not that offended. they're just worth something to me.
noahsdad
noahsdad on Jul 06 '06
impossiblejosh- This shirt in no way was to glorify American gluttony but rather a social commentary on it... More offensive than "shooting JFK in the head" design? I have to disagree with you on that one. That's just plain ludicrous.
