In Japan, people use the yen for money. People in the U.S. use dollars and cents. There are 100 cents in a dollar, and the smallest coin is a penny. It is worth one cent. The U.S. has been making pennies for more than 200 years, but they suddenly stopped making them last week. They made the last penny on November 12. The government said that it costs too much to make these coins. Each penny costs four cents to make. Americans can still use old pennies, but they will disappear one day. Japan has a one-yen coin, and each coin costs three yen to make. I wonder if Japan will do the same thing?    (115 words) You can send me a comment or your own story at jaremaga@gmail.com
