Last Penny Ornament

This commemorative ornament was created using MakerLab to mark a historic moment—the final minting of the U.S. penny on November 12, 2025. Designed as both a keepsake and conversation piece, this ornament captures the end of an era with a real penny at its center.

Featuring the phrase “IN GOD WE TRUST”, the years 1793–2025, and the bold statement “We Lost Our CENTS!”, this piece blends history with a bit of humor.
