We Lost Our Cents | Last Penny Commemorative Ornament

At some point, we all realized it: this economy has officially lost its mind. And apparently, it's pennies too.

This double-sided, tongue-in-cheek wooden ornament commemorates the end of an era: the final minting of the U.S. penny. One side marks the moment we collectively “lost our cents,” while the reverse spells it out plainly; due to the high cost of production, the penny simply wasn’t worth it anymore.

Laser engraved on natural wood and finished with a classic hanging cord and wooden bead, this ornament is equal parts historical keepsake, political side-eye, and holiday humor. Whether it lives on your Christmas tree, hangs year-round, or gets gifted to your favorite sarcastic adult, it’s a small reminder that sometimes… the math just ain’t mathing.

Perfect for: 

• History buffs
• Economically exhausted adults
• Stocking stuffers with personality
• Anyone who remembers when a penny actually bought something

Front: “In God We Trust – The Year 1793–2025 – We Lost Our Cents”

Back: “Due to the high cost of production, the last penny was minted November 12, 2025”

You can order this ornament with a penny included ***specific mint years cannot be requested or guaranteed** , or without a penny so you can add your own.
