The U.S. Mint Strikes Its Last Penny Today — Halts Production After 232 Years Citing ‘Government Waste’

The United States Mint struck its final circulating one-cent coin at its Philadelphia facility today, ending 232 years of continuous penny production.

The move stems from mounting production costs and changing payment habits. The Mint estimates that each penny now costs approximately 3.69 cents to produce, almost four times its face value.

President Donald Trump announced in February that he was ordering his administration to end production of the coin, citing government waste.

No new pennies will be manufactured for circulation. Limited collector editions may still be produced, but mass minting has ended.

60% wrong? You must have gotten that from ai. AI is more like 95% out to lunch.

A little off track but the word penny reminds me of the saying my nan and great aunt would say which was "I'm just going to spend a penny" LOL.

Their times must have been real polite back then

We used to "spend a penny" when I was a kid, and "go tuppence." I may be the only person here who knows what both expressions meant ... and why.

The cheapest I ever saw was a nickel

Illegal now, at least in some places. Don't remember if it's flat out illegal or only that not all could require the coin, but I do remember when the law was passed
