Well, honey, back in 1900, a penny could get you a whole lot more than it can today. You could snag yourself a newspaper, a loaf of bread, or even a small bag of candy for just one cent. Nowadays, you'd be lucky to find a dusty old penny on the ground, let alone buy anything with it.

What would a penny buy in 1917?

By 1917, you couldn't buy a lot with just one penny: one popular item was penny candy, and many candy stores had jars of it; there were also a few toys that still cost a penny. And you could still mail a post card for one cent. But although there were fewer things that cost one cent, there were some that you could buy for two or three pennies. Many newspapers in 1917 cost two cents (some had begun raising their rates from one cent to two cents as paper became more expensive); postage stamps were also generally two cents. And if you could come up with five pennies (or a nickel), you could see a movie-- although not in the best seats.
