[ Let's see.... Do I have enough for a loaf of bread?
]
We're not at Revelation chapter 6 just yet -- but the world is turning that way (in some places) -- or so it must feel to those poor people. For lurkers, a penny represents a day's wage - IOW, work all day for a loaf of bread to eat - for a day.
Revelation 6:6 King James Version (KJV)
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
