Twenty-two percent of hiring managers said they use social networking sites to research job candidates, up from 11 percent in 2006, according to a nationwide survey of more than 3,100 employers from CareerBuilder.com. An additional 9 percent said they don’t currently use social networking sites to screen potential employees, but plan to start.

A penny minted before 1982 is ninety-five per cent copper—which, at recent prices, is approximately two and a half cents’ worth. Ohioan Walter Luhrman, who had previously owned a company that refined gold and silver, devised a method of rapidly separating pre-1982 pennies from more recent ones, which are ninety-seven and a half per cent zinc, a less valuable commodity. His new company, Jackson Metals, bought truckloads of pennies from the Federal Reserve, turned the copper ones into ingots, and returned the zinc ones to circulation in cities where pennies were scarce. “Doing that prevented the U.S. Mint from having to make more pennies,” Luhrman told me recently. “Isn’t that neat?” The Mint didn’t think so; it issued a rule prohibiting the melting or exportation of one-cent and five-cent coins. (Nickels, despite their silvery appearance, are seventy-five per cent copper.)

It is no longer really a penny for your thoughts. To be precise, a thought is now worth 1.67 cents. And when someone offers you their 2 cents, they are really giving you 3.34 cents' worth of advice. That is because the government shells out 1.67 cents to manufacture one penny, up from 0.93 cents in 2004, according to The United States Mint. Every five-cent piece costs almost a dime (9.5 cents) to make. That means last year, more than $120 million was spent to produce about $65 million worth of nickels.

New design for penny

The 2009 Bicentennial Lincoln penny reverse sides mark stages in Abraham Lincoln’s life. The coins’ face won’t change. Due to the rising cost of copper and zinc — today’s pennies are 97.5 percent zinc coated with 2.5 percent copper — production and distribution costs hit 1.7 cents per coin in 2007, U.S. Mint spokesman Greg Hernandez said. That figure has dropped to 1.4 cents per coin today.

I don’t know and I don’t care, and I’m too lazy to find out.
