If you have attended one of Chopson’s performances, perhaps you picked-up a RE-ENCHANTMENT Penny — a “normal” U.S. coin spray-painted gold and embedded with the desire to bring a new-found appreciation of its overwhelming inherent and enhanced symbolism to the carrier of the coin. Time is circular, not linear. Equality of opportunity should be a part of every society. Freedom is fragile; it can easily slip away when due diligence falters. Pennies are the smallest denomination of current U.S. currency; but, a RE-ENCHANTMENT Penny also reminds the carrier of the great value of the minutiae of life. It reminds us to also look closely at all the small wonders that elude us everyday.

Each RE-ENCHANTMENT Penny was present during the reading of Chopson’s piece “The Waiting” at various times, the date of each coin is random. To charge or pay five dollars for a penny is a unique artistic statement in and of itself. Each RE-ENCHANTMENT Penny comes with a signed paper copy of “The Waiting.” The five dollar cost includes shipping. Feel free to purchase more than one. It is a perfect “small” gift that speaks volumes.
