Pennies

Visited the Christ Church Burial Ground.Saw the grave of Benjamin Franklin.Visitors had decorate it with pennies in his honor, presumably because of his advice in Poor Richard’s Almanack that “A penny saved is twopence dear” (often misquoted as “A penny saved is a penny earned”.)  Either way, it makes no sense to waste one’s hard-earned pennies this way.
