唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump

“很久以來，美國已經鑄造了幾分錢，這實際上使我們花費了2美分。這太浪費了！”總統在周日晚上發布了真相社交。

President Donald Trump has announced plans to halt the production of new one-cent coins, a move that could drive up the value of rare in-circulation pennies as collectors seek out the most elusive and high-grade specimens.

唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統宣布計劃停止生產新的單美分硬幣，此舉可能會推動罕見的循環便士價值，因為收藏家尋求最難以捉摸和最高級的標本。

"For far too long the United States has minted pennies which literally cost us more than 2 cents. This is so wasteful!" the president posted to Truth Social on Sunday night. "I have instructed my Secretary of the US Treasury to stop producing new pennies.

“很久以來，美國已經鑄造了幾分錢，這實際上使我們花費了2美分。這太浪費了！”總統在周日晚上發布了真相社交。 “我已經指示我的美國財政部長停止生產新的便士。

"Let's rip the waste out of our great nations budget, even if it's a penny at a time."

“即使是一次是一分錢，讓我們從大國預算中撕下廢物。”

Newsweek has contacted the Treasury Department regarding the minting decision.

Newsweek已就鑄造決定聯繫了財政部。

While perhaps a surprising announcement from the president, not previously mentioned among his litany of campaign promises, Trump's decision aligns with his administration's focus on reducing wasteful government expenditure, and taps into a long-running debate over the continued utility of the currency's smallest denomination.

雖然總統的一項令人驚訝的宣布，但前面沒有提到他的競選承諾，但特朗普的決定與他的政府專注於減少浪費的政府支出相吻合，並就該貨幣最小的宗派的持續實用性進行了長期的辯論。

According to the U.S. Mint's 2024 report, making and circulating the one-cent coin cost 3.69 cents per penny. The Mint reported a loss of $85.3 million on the nearly 3.17 billion pennies it produced in the fiscal year ending September 2024.

根據美國造幣廠的2024年報告，每一分錢的一分錢賺錢和循環成本為3.69美分。造幣廠報告說，截至2024年9月的財政年度生產的近31.7億便士損失了8,530萬美元。

The move could also impact the American coin-collecting market, expected to double in size to $77.3 billion by 2034, according to Market Research Future. Putting a stop to the minting of new pennies could result in the most valuable coins—whose price is dictated by their rarity, historical significance, unique minting marks, condition and errors—to skyrocket.

根據市場研究的未來，此舉還可能影響美國硬幣收集的市場，預計到2034年的規模將翻一番，至773億美元。停止鑄造新的便士可能會導致最有價值的硬幣，這是由它們的稀有性，歷史意義，獨特的鑄造標記，狀況和錯誤所決定的。

According to USA Coin Book, a collector-focused website that records and appraises all coins minted in the U.S., the rarest pennies can be worth millions of dollars, with the following ranked by their value in perfect condition.

根據美國硬幣書籍的報導，以收藏家為中心的網站記錄並評估了所有在美國鑄造的硬幣，最稀有的便士可以價值數百萬美元，以下是其價值在完美狀態下排名。

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an advisory body led by Elon Musk and tasked with identifying unnecessary government expenditures, previously argued for abolishing the penny, citing the high costs of manufacturing the coin.

政府效率部（DOGE）是由埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）領導的諮詢機構，負責確定不必要的政府支出，此前曾主張廢除一分錢，理由是製造硬幣的高昂成本。

Todd Martin, chief spokesperson for the U.S. Mint, has pointed out that the coronavirus pandemic's impact on the retail sector affected the circulation of physical pennies.

美國造幣廠的首席發言人托德·馬丁（Todd Martin）指出，冠狀病毒大流行對零售部門的影響影響了身體便士的循環。

"In normal circumstances, retail transactions and coin recyclers return a significant amount of coins to circulation on a daily basis," Martin told Reader's Digest in 2023. "There is an adequate amount of coins in the economy, but coins aren't circulating through the economy as quickly as they were prior to the COVID-19 pandemic."

馬丁在2023年在讀者的《消化》中說：“在正常情況下，零售交易和硬幣回收商每天都會返回大量硬幣進行流通。經濟中有足夠的硬幣，但硬幣並沒有通過經濟在19日大流行之前的經濟很快。”

"It's expensive to mint coins, and it's also expensive for businesses to process small coins," Robert K. Triest, professor of economics at Northeastern University, recently told Northeastern Global News.

東北大學經濟學教授羅伯特·K·特里斯特（Robert K. Triest）最近告訴《東北全球新聞》（Northeastern Global News）。

However, Triest questioned whether the president could unilaterally stop mintage of the penny.

但是，Triest質疑總統是否可以單方面停止一分錢的鑄幣。

"The process of discontinuing the penny in the U.S. is a little unclear," Triest said. "It would likely require an act of Congress, but the secretary of the treasury might be able to simply stop the minting of new pennies."

特里斯特說：“停止在美國的一分錢的過程還不清楚。” “這很可能需要國會的行動，但財政部長可能能夠簡單地停止新的便士的鑄造。”
