1976 Pennies From Heaven And More Jobs?

Greetings Dear Readers,

I recently upwrapped a Two-Inch Cube of TEN 1976 Pennies, all suspended in animation and looking shiny like Brand-New! And seriously, who isn't fascinated by coins in acrylic? I first caught the 'Bug' when as a young boy I found they put an acrylic block of coins in the new cement sidewalk. This was up on Sparks Street, Ottawa, when Sparks was being rebuilt, and it was on a side street linking up. Anyone remember that? 

Anyways, this little cube caught my attention once more, and has resided on my desk for several days now. Items come and go from my desk, as you can imagine. And this little block even has a "Canada" sticker on the bottom, imagine that. 

So my answers to the title of this blog are,

1. Yes, these are pennies from heaven, and
2. Yes we need to have more jobs making things once more in "Canada".
