I just got this lid on my Snapple Iced Tea.

...and so it did!



On April 21, 1787, the Continental Congress of the United States authorized a design for an official penny, later referred to as the Fugio cent because of its image of the sun shining down on a sundial with the caption, “Fugio” (Latin: I flee/fly). This coin was designed by Benjamin Franklin. He put at its bottom the message, “Mind Your Business”. The image and the words form a rebus meaning that time flies, do your work. This design was also used on the “Continental dollar” (issued as coins of unknown real denomination, and in paper notes of different fractional denominations) in February of 1776.

Snapple was close. It seems you researched it more than they did.

In 1787, a penny was probably equivalent to 20 bucks today
