"In God We Trust – The Year We Lost Our Cents" Penny Ornament

A meaningful piece of history captured in a timeless keepsake.

This laser cut and handcrafted ornament marks the end of the U.S. penny with both humor and heart. Featuring a real penny securely set into layered birch wood, it commemorates the year we officially “lost our cents.”

The penny is set into the top layer so it’s made to last for years to come — possibly longer than the pennies themselves.

Each ornament is finished with a rustic red & white ribbon and a blue bead for a classic, patriotic touch.

Make it personal:

• Let us add a shined random penny (while supplies last), or

• Add your own penny with a specific birth year.  

*If you are picking up in store, we can shine up your penny and add it for you if you'd like!

Perfect for:

• Christmas trees

• Historical keepsakes

• Meaningful gifts

• Conversation-starting décor

• Collectors and penny lovers alike
