More pennies for my collection
According to one reference on citations, the phrase “A penny spar’d is twice got” was recorded back in 1640. Ben Franklin paraphrased well: “A penny saved is a penny earned“. Somewhere along the way, I learned that if “I see a penny and pick it up, then all that day I’ll have good luck“. Combine the three, and my growing collection of maple leaf coinage makes good sense; common sense, if you’ll excuse the pun.
