New Copper Penny
New Copper Penny was a nightclub located at the intersection of Southeast 92nd Avenue and Foster Road in Portland's Lents neighborhood, in the U.S. state of Oregon.

Description
New Copper Penny was a bar and nightclub in Portland's Lents neighborhood. The business had a 10-foot tall neon sign of a Lincoln cent.[4]
History
Owner Saki Tzantarmas started New Copper Penny after purchasing a bar in 1972. He died in 2017.[5]
In 2014, Molly Young of The Oregonian described New Copper Penny as "a frequent trouble spot, according to neighborhood leaders, who say state regulators should step in to ensure against more incidents".[6][7]
New Copper Penny was sold to a real estate developer in 2016.[8][9] Owners applied to operate a business across the street.[10][11]
