1 Peter 5

What was the motto displayed on the first official penny? "Live Free or Die" "Salute a Veteran" "Loose Lips Sink Ships" "Mind Your Business" ******** Answer: Benjamin Franklin reportedly designed the first one-cent coin, which was minted in 1787. The Fugio cent, also known as the Franklin cent, was the first official coin of the United States. It was also the first design for the penny, and named the Fugio Cent because of its image of the sun and its light shining down on a sundial. Beneath the sundial appeared the phrase, "Mind Your Business." Some historians believe that the word "business" was intended literally here, as Franklin was an influential and successful businessman. Visitors to the founding father’s grave traditionally leave one-cent pieces there for good luck.
