The suspense is terrible ... I hope it lasts.

This is an interesting test, to help you see how familiar (or not) you are with the US penny. Are you able, without cheating, of course, to determine which of these is the correct 1996 penny?

Apparently, "Most people have a hard time making this choice. You need to be able to recognize a penny when you see one. But you don't need to remember many details to distinguish it from a dime or quarter. The fact that most people don't make the correct choice suggests that we're likely to remember only enough about an object to recognize it in everyday life."

Me thinks there's a lesson in there somewhere.
