My local newspaper 1942

[Full Metal Digger]

This appeared in our town's paper on this date in 1942.

If you're hoarding indian-head pennies the mint would like you to put them back into circulation. It's a misconception that indian-heads are worth more than 1 cent.

I thought what an odd thing to print in 1942! Then I remembered this was when WW2 rationing really started and production of commercial goods were greatly restricted. The government was actually asking people to put old coinage back into circulation!
