The US Mint reported today that a shortage of copper leading to escalating prices has forced them to reconsider the minting of copper Lincoln pennies. With the price of copper reaching record levels, the cost of producing a penny is now greater than the value of the coin.
Strange as it sounds, the Mint is now considering the use of Maggots as the baseline currency. Bryan Magoot confirmed "Maggots are plentiful, and can be created with very little cost. We are seriously considering this option."
US Treasury officials refused to comment on the veracity of this story, stating only that "Maggots love the Meat."
