My former colleague @glennkessler.bsky.social ran the Washington Post Fact Checker for 15 years. He pre-bunked tonight’s State of the Union Speech for @ms.now: www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

The coin was valuable precisely because it wasn't worth much: "If you were frugal, you were a penny-pincher. If you were too focused on saving money, you were penny-wise and pound-foolish. Something cheap was penny-ante, but something valuable was worth a pretty penny."
