or as well, their conflicted commemoration...
Indeed...
And how ignoble of them to do, too...
The 'Penny'...
Lincoln was the 'first' President to significantly betray
the People of the United
States in his contempt for the Constitution and in his
refutation of it, in mobilizing the Federal Forces, in acts
of War against those States who had been bye their own
volition, a part-of the 'Union', and had then decided for
themselves to withdraw from it, as they were bye unanimous
agreement of admission TO the Union, within their Rights to
do.
The 'experiment' had then ceased to so much be...an
'experiment', but instead, became an imposition...what had
been a willful
co-operation...was rather then become, a willful domination
of and by a
Federal Government upon Sovereign States and their volentary
place and status...in 'a'...not 'the', 'Union'...
Force and domination as to induce 'incentive' to remain 'in'
a Union, was not...the 'Deal'...
Anyway...
So...'Zink'...where 'Copper' had been...
Why not just make it of Zink entire then?
And let it look-like...what it is?
I guess...maybe they do not 'like-to'...let things
look-like...what they is?
Oh...poor ol' "Abe"....
I like him well enough...otherwise...
Though the 'Indian' Penny...was (far more) 'beautiful'...(if
equally ironic).
...sigh...

I think the modern U.S. penny is a zinc blank covered in an
envelope of copper, rather than aluminum.

Don't know if you were using a US penny, but they're made of
aluminum, and
that explains why it "ate" everything. These days "copper"
penny is a
misnomer.
