No More Pennies, Hired Comfort, and Anti-Valentine’s Day Vibes

No More Pennies, Hired Comfort, and Anti-Valentine’s Day Vibes

In this episode of Nina's What's Trending:

  • The U.S. government will stop minting new pennies due to high production costs, but this could increase the need for expensive nickels.
  • In Japan, there are services where people can hire an attractive man for emotional support, including wiping their tears during sad movies.
  • The Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra is hosting a "Bad Romance" Anti-Valentine’s Day concert featuring breakup anthems.

President Trump has directed the Treasury Department to stop producing new pennies because they cost more than a penny to make. Each penny costs about 3.7 cents to mint, and eliminating them could lead to an increased demand for nickels, which cost even more at 13.8 cents each. Experts warn this could also result in higher prices for consumers as transactions are rounded up.

In Japan, a unique companionship service allows people to hire an attractive man for emotional support, including comforting them during emotional moments like watching a sad movie. These services cater to a growing market for unconventional therapy and companionship options.

Meanwhile, the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra is taking a different approach to Valentine’s Day with a "Bad Romance" concert. Instead of love songs, the performance will feature breakup anthems like "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor and "Someone Like You" by Adele. The concert is scheduled for 7:30 PM on Wednesday and Thursday.
