Part 3/6:
Following the artistic display, the transcript transitions to a discussion about the American penny, linking the performance to broader societal themes. The narrative references the ongoing debate about the utility and economic impact of minting pennies.
The discussion highlights how the rapid modernization of the American wallet—incorporating digital payments and alternative currencies—has rendered the penny increasingly obsolete. It is noted that the current administration, along with the Department of the Treasury, no longer support the continued production of pennies, asserting that it is no longer fiscally responsible or necessary to fulfill the needs of the American public.
