"Live Free or Die" "Salute a Veteran" "Loose Lips Sink Ships" "Mind Your Business" Answer: Benjamin Franklin reportedly designed the first American penny in 1787. Known as the Fugio cent, it bears the image of a sun and sundial above the message “Mind Your Business.” A chain with 13 links, each representing one of the original colonies, encircles the motto “We Are One” on the reverse. Along with the first U.S. penny’s design, the phrase “a penny saved is a penny earned” has been attributed to Benjamin Franklin. Visitors to the founding father’s grave in Philadelphia traditionally leave one-cent pieces there for good luck.

Members phkrause Posted October 28, 2017 Author Members Posted October 28, 2017 19 hours ago, phkrause said: What is the only U.S. state to have a motto in Italian? Maryland New Mexico Louisiana Texas Answer: The old Italian proverb “Fatti maschii, parole femine” is the official state motto of Maryland. According to the state of Maryland, the phrase translates to “strong deeds, gentle words.” Yet this is willfully misleading. The direct translation is hardly gentle: “Manly deeds, womanly words.” The phrase was uttered by Pope Clement VII in the 1500s. Centuries later, in 1959, long after the Calvert family, Maryland’s founders, had incorporated it into its shield in around 1648, the state officially adopted a new seal that featured the words.
