A Penny For Your Thoughts

One more shot from the airport. They have this wishing well and as yoiu can see it is full of lots of coins most of which are usually pennies.
On Friday the Royal Canadian Mint produced its last one cent penny. It will be interesting to see how things go without it around

[Ellen Young]

Nice shiny shot from the light s reflection! Great Capture!!

[Kerri]

Nice

[Janet Shaffer]

Nice shot.

[Anne ❀]

very cool shot!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great capture. Neat looking fountain. I guess I should make a wish. :)
That's interesting about the penny.

[june milner]

Nice shot and very interesting about the penny.

[Shirley Chetwynd]

Amazing wishing well, we have one in Kings Park Gardens, i was told when i was a kid, that the kids would stick chewing gum on a stick and lift the money out.... little shockers.

[Brian Baptie]

A lot of thoughts there and all for a good cause!!

[tony j sisti]

Looks like the coins have been accumulating for quite awhile, perhaps they could use some help for this project!!....just an imaginary thought,,ha ha !

[Kimmi]

This is really pretty

[Mrs. Smith]

Now the cent will be a collectors item. Did you make a wish?

[Harry J Benson]

And now the collectors will start hoarding them. Nice photo

[Drew Hedden]

Love it!

[Ian Fisher]

Now if that was in the UK, there would be regular incidents of drunk travellers paddling and fishing for the coins!

[Kimberlee]

great shot....

[Mary Lou]

cool shot, I think a lot of people are going to hang on to some pennies

[Kim]

Very shinny! Interesting indeed - certainly a historic day.

[karenann]

Nice little capture of "bling in the fountain!" Great one, Brian. Will be interesting how well everyone adjusts to no more pennies, won't it.

[Cindy Rez]

cool shot...no more pennies should be interesting!!

[Jo Ann Bellone]

and how many of these will disappear as keepsakes

[Sheila]

Nice photo!

[Wendy Bowden]

Lovely capture, cool light reflections

[Mary]

Very nice!

[Debbi M]

Wonderful capture. Love the lighting.

[summerfield]

wow! that's a lot of coins in there! wonderful shot, brian.

[Michele]

We Canadians might be dipping into the wishing wells for those pennies:)

[Leila]

What a neat wishing well..... I wonder what happens to the coins when its cleaned out? Nice reflections.

[Carolyn White]

Beautiful capture, Brian!

[Daisy Kyoo]

i'd totes go in that and collect all the quarters lol!!!!

[bkb in the city]

@daisymaeyo I am sure they would add up

[Linda]

Nice shot! Are people hoarding up their old pennies in hopes that they will be worth more to sell as metal?

[bkb in the city]

@grannysue It sounds like people are getting rid of them

[bkb in the city]

@cjwhite Thanks Carolyn

[bkb in the city]

@leilaboyd I think they go to charity

[bkb in the city]

@michelerozek maybe

[bkb in the city]

@jolefont A few I am sure

[bkb in the city]

@cindyrez The idea is that they will just round things up or down to the nearest amount

[bkb in the city]

@karenann It will be very interesting

[bkb in the city]

@kimshots Historic indeed

[bkb in the city]

@allred Yes I am sure they will

[bkb in the city]

@kimfaria Thanks Kim

[bkb in the city]

@if1 They do have a lot of security in the airport so maybe the people behave themselves

[bkb in the city]

@drewhedden Glad to hear that Drew

[bkb in the city]

@hjbenson Thanks Harry. I am sure people will certainly hold to some for sure

[bkb in the city]

@mrssmith Actually I was concentrating on taking a shot that I did not even think about tossing a coin in

[bkb in the city]

@kimmistephens Glad you like it

[bkb in the city]

@tonyjsisti There is certainly a lot of coins there for sure

[bkb in the city]

@bdb3471 Definitely

[bkb in the city]

@http365proj Yes we had kids who would try to take the money out of these as well

[bkb in the city]

@mittens I hope your wish comes true

[bkb in the city]

@sunnygreenwood Thanks Anne

[bkb in the city]

@janets Thank you

[bkb in the city]

@kerristephens Thanks Kerri

[bkb in the city]

@ellimae Thanks Ellen

[Jennifer C]

gosh I wonder when they will empty the money out, there is so much there. Lovely image

[Carole Imes]

Cool shot and great lighting/reflections. Looks like there is an ample supply of coins in there!

[michelle mcintyre]

Lots of wishes captured here - they did away with our 1 and 2 cent coins, it doesn't take long to adjust, they seem to go out of circulation very quickly!!

[Paula]

Oh I forgot they were phasing out the penny! I think the banks here are doing a penny collection drive for people in need:)

[John]

Grat pov.

[Claire]

Love the sparkles, I wonder what people wish for, it is nice that they make the effort in this busy world

[Lisa Pouncy]

Fabulous. I love the lights reflected in the water xx

[Ann Stenson]

Whoa!.....thats a lot of penny's!!.....Brilliant capture! : )

[Tunde Linsey]

Very nice pov and interesting theme :)

[Pyrrhula]

We don`t have a cent for years and the world still turns on.
Nice find and a great capture , love the reflections in the water

[mabuss]

[bkb in the city]

[bkb in the city]

@cimes1 There certainly is

[bkb in the city]

@jenrobcarr I am not sure how often they empty it

[Diane]

I didn't know the Canadian Mint had stopped making pennies. This is a great shot to mark that event!

[bkb in the city]

@eudora Thanks Diane

[naladka]

A sparkling mini treasure!

[Darlene]

What a beautiful photo of the coins in this wishing well. Nicely done.

[bkb in the city]

@naladka It certainly is

[bkb in the city]

@darsphotos Thanks Darlene

[Margo E. Dearbhail]

nice shot.. will everything be rounded to 5 cents?

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I like how the lights on the pennies puts some pretty sparkles on there. The US mint wants to do away with the penny as well, but I think it's just an excuse to raise taxes even higher. You can't increase things by pennies if you don't have them.

[bkb in the city]

@olivetreeann This took a long time before they finally did it. It was costing them 1.6 cents to make each penny

[Claudia]

Cool!! Great shot!!

[bkb in the city]

@klays Thanks Claudia
