The revised sentence that would be most effective to include in an argumentative text is: "The penny makes the United States look antique and backward compared to the rest of the world."

This sentence clearly conveys the argument regarding the negative perception of keeping the penny and aligns well with the original statement about the U.S. needing to catch up to other countries.
