Is there anything publically available for a penny anymore?

I haven't seen a "penny" gumball machine in probably 15 years now. Any of you have one of these locally that you know of still in service? Or have any 5-and-Dimes that still sell ... anything? for a penny?

There are plenty of things available for penny. Take a look at the stock market.
 
I bought a pair of gloves at home depot for .02 so i guess each glove was .01

Also during open bars in Connecticut a coin has to be passed so technically the drinks are .01 during open bar.

This is how Athens, GA handled their open bar nights as well. Pay $10 cover, get your cup, and all drinks thereafter are $.01 (plus whatever tip you'd like to leave).

Edit: I believe I might've also seen $.01 candy at gas stations in the past (usually in little bowls up near the register). It's more often a nickle, though; penny candy is pretty difficulty to find nowadays.

Or down.

I think $.50 would be more doable, but more people would have a problem with that.

I think it's sad that our greatest president is on a coin that people throw away into cups next to cash registers at 7-11's.

I think of it on a different angle, he is stamped on the highest volume circulation coin.

*shrugs* such is the way of inflation

Things aren't cheap anymore
 
i'm sure you could find a mom & pop type store out in the middle of nowhere that sells individual pieces of candy for a penny each.

Nope, they are 3 cents now at the cheapest 🙁
 
At Meijer, a grocery store here in the midwest, there are electric horsey rides for a penny. I take my goddaughter there every few weeks and .10 cents buys me plenty of time to make a phone call or two. 🙂
