Florida Man Launches GoFundMe to Put the “Last U.S. Pennies” Into Everyday Circulation

Circulate Omega Pennies

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Location: North Florida


NORTH FLORIDA – In response to the U.S. Mint’s announcement that the final 232 “Omega Penny” sets will be auctioned exclusively through high-end auction house Stacks Bowers, a North Florida artist known as Legboot has launched a crowdfunding campaign with one bold goal: buy the last pennies and release them into circulation, so regular Americans have a chance to find one.

The Mint’s decision to auction the last pennies only to wealthy bidders struck many collectors and ordinary citizens as unfair. Instead of letting the public own a piece of American history, the last 2025 cent sets will likely be sold to elite collectors, investors, and institutional buyers.

Legboot wants to change that.

“The Mint is basically saying the last pennies are for the rich only,” said Legboot.

“So I’m trying to buy them, and put them right back into the pockets of everyday people.”

If the GoFundMe campaign succeeds, any sets won at auction will be broken apart, placed into bank rolls, and quietly deposited into circulation. Instead of being locked in vaults, slabs, or investment portfolios, the “last pennies” would end up in pockets, cash registers, piggy banks, vending machines, and coin jars across America.

“Imagine buying a soda and accidentally finding the last U.S. penny ever made,” Legboot added.

“That’s the America I want to live in.”

The fundraiser argues that public institutions should serve the public, not just the wealthy. Supporters say the plan is a small but symbolic act of financial democracy: a reminder that U.S. currency belongs to everyone.

Free Printable: Package Blister Card for Nancy Drew Collectible

Nancy Drew Professor Hotchkiss Boots Toy

Nancy Drew games from Her Interactive were some of my wife’s favorite activities from childhood, so I made her this piece inspired by Treasure in the Royal Tower as a birthday gift.

If you’d like to make your own, you can download the PDF below and print it out. I used full sheet label paper and stuck it to thin chipboard/cardboard.

The boots I used were pink Barbie ski boots, which I painted metallic purple. Here’s picture of the type I used (pre paint):

Free Printable: Horse Humor Advisory

Horses Are Not Funny

If you’re like me, you’ve probably referenced horses in a jovial tone or even outright used one in a joke. And I KNOW you’ve shared at least one horse meme—we all have. Unfortunately this behavior has to stop because according to some random lady, we are exploiting these beautiful creatures. It also seems we are negatively impacting her popsicle stick horse art business.

If you want to support this woman’s message and champion the majesty and nobility of the Horse, you can download one of her flyers below and print it out.

Free Printable: Weird Little Valentine’s Day Cards

Weird Little Valentines - Robert

Display of small weird Valentine's Day cardsLast year I made a display of little Valentine’s Day cards and left it in Walgreens. I also set up a display of free cards in the library of my local community college. (I escaped just as the librarian was talking in hushed tones to campus police about some guy who was loitering…)

This year I am giving away the print file for free! Download the PDF at the link below, and print some weird little Valentines for your friends. I used a heavy cardstock paper, and printed on both sides (flipped along the long edge). Then simply cut and fold.

If you don’t want to do all that tiresome printing, cutting, and folding, you can buy a pack of these cards here and make me do it for you.

Or send a weird Valentine eCard!

PokeyMa’am Art Files

Our t-shirt printing provider has declined to print our PokeyMa’am designs, which is understandable given how lawsuit-happy The Pokemon Company can be. Even fair use parody works present a risk when a huge company loves to sue and has mountains of cash they can easily afford to throw away on the case.

So, here are the PokeyMa’am art files for free download. You are welcome to upload them anywhere and create a shirt for yourself.

Donation Transparency Report (Please Do Not The Cat)

please do not the cat

Earlier this year we pledged to donate 100% of profits from the sale of Please Do Not The Cat shirts to no-kill cat shelters, and since that time we’ve raised about $1700!

We took suggestions from the “please do not the cat” group on Facebook about which organizations to benefit with our donations, and compiled those suggestions into a list of 14 shelters. Over the last few weeks, we’ve reached out to these organizations via email and Facebook message to arrange donations and confirm participation. One group declined to participate, and 5 others did not respond to any of our messages. This brings the final donation list down to 8 shelters, among which the funds have been divided equally.

Mask your wallet

Some local businesses still being overly zealous with their mask rules, without any good reason (beyond fear and virtue-signaling). If they still require masks and are being assholes about it, you can put up this sign nearby. If masks are required, I’ll mask my wallet. Thanks for the money-saving tip, guys!

STAY SANF

Since posting my How to Wear a Mask sign, I have received multiple requests from fans for the printable file so that they can hang up their own copies. The files below are PDFs. (Note: the file was designed with 0.17″ page margins, so you may need to adjust your printer settings to get a full print. Alternatively you could scale down the print slightly.)
