Drinking too much water is far worse than not enough. It can cause water intoxication with all kinds of bad side effects. This can dilute the electrolytes in your blood, especially sodium. When sodium levels fall below 135 mmol/L, it is called hyponatremia. It will also swell cells. Excess fluid accumulation in the brain is called cerebral edema, which can affect the brain stem and cause central nervous system dysfunction. There have been cases of death caused by drinking between 2.5 and 5 gals of water in a short period of time.

Long before Lincoln became synonymous with the 1-cent coin, a fictitious person graced the front. Miss Liberty, a gal with long, flowing locks, became the face of the penny after a conference held in the U.S. House. The decision was made against the wishes of the Senate, who wanted George Washington on the front.

Today, pennies are about the same size as dimes — America’s smallest coin — but they weren’t always that small. In fact, the original penny was about the size of today’s half dollar.

From 1793 to 1857, the 1-cent coin was made out of pure copper, but due to the increasing price of the metal, other elements were added to the mix. Over the years, nickel, tin, zinc and steel have all been used. Today, the penny is made with mostly zinc and only 2.5% copper.

The U.S. Mint first released pennies into circulation in March 1793. There were 11,178 coins — $111.78 in sum.

In 1792, artist William Russell Birch designed some of our earliest pennies, which featured Miss Liberty on the front and a laurel wreath on the back. The design of the penny ended up changing before it formally went into production, so the so-called “Birch Cents” or “Birch Pennies” are exceedingly rare. In fact, in October 2018, one of the historical coins was put up for auction at Stack’s Bowers Galleries in California for $1 million.

Miss Liberty’s coin received the unfortunate nickname “Silly Head” because the public thought the woman’s appearance was odd. Later versions of the coin gave her a ribbon to wear in her hair and eventually a cap of sorts. Her curls also became far less unkempt.

The penny gets its name from the British “penny,” which Americans had been accustomed to using, having immigrated from the Kingdom of Great Britain. However, while we call multiple 1-cent coins “pennies,” the British call multiples of their penny “pence.”
