美國終於停止了便士的生產

特朗普總統的命令停止製作“便士”並不是聯邦政府第一次停止生產硬幣派別用於流通

President Trump’s order to stop making "pennies" is not the first time the federal government discontinued the production of a coin denomination for use in circulation, explains veteran rare coin dealer and award-winning numismatic author Dr. Michael Fuljenz, president of Universal Coin & Bullion (www.UniversalCoin.com) in Beaumont, Texas.

"The last time that happened was 92 years ago in 1933, but it happened several times in the 1800s with the halt in production of coins that were no longer useful or not popular, such as half-cents, two-cent coins, and the short-lived twenty-cent denomination coins," said Fuljenz.

“最後一次發生的是1933年的92年前，但在1800年代發生了幾次，因為硬幣的生產停止了，這些硬幣不再有用或不受歡迎，例如半美分，兩美分硬幣和短暫的二十美分宗派硬幣。”富揚茲說。

"Major countries around the world from Canada to Sweden to Australia have eliminated their lowest denomination coins and it was time for the United States to stop making pennies," he stated.

他說：“從加拿大到瑞典再到澳大利亞的世界主要國家已經消除了他們最低的面額硬幣，現在是時候停止賺錢了。”

Technically, the U.S. actually does not make pennies.

從技術上講，美國實際上並沒有賺錢。

"The official designation is cent. The common terms ‘penny’ and ‘pennies’ date back to colonial times when English pennies were in circulation. The first U.S. one-cent denomination coins, made of copper and about the size of a modern quarter-dollar, were struck for circulation starting in 1793. The cent was reduced to the size we have today in 1856, and Abraham Lincoln has appeared on the front of U.S. cents since 1909," explained Fuljenz.

“官方名稱為百分點。英國便士流通時的常見術語'penny'和'pennies'的日期是殖民時代。美國第一個由銅製成的美國第一個一美分面額硬幣，大約是現代四分之一的大小。美元從1793年開始被擊中。從1909年以來，亞伯拉罕·林肯（Abraham Lincoln）自1909年以來就出現在美國的前面。”富揚茲解釋說。

Discontinued U.S. circulating coin denominations are:

停產的美國流通硬幣教派是：

"U.S. Lincoln one-cent denomination coins used to be composed of 95 percent copper, however, since 1982 have been made of 97.5 percent zinc with a 2.5 percent plating of copper," explained Fuljenz. "The United States Mint Director Ventris Gibson told me in January that the cost of making one penny has now grown to over four cents each."

富揚茲解釋說：“美國林肯一美分面額硬幣過去由95％的銅組成，但是自1982年以來，鋅的鋅是97.5％，銅的鍍銅為2.5％。” “美國造幣廠董事文特里斯·吉布森（Ventris Gibson）在一月份告訴我，一分錢的成本已經增長到四美分。”

The cover story by Fuljenz in the February-March 2025 edition of COINage Magazine, "Do Pennies Make Sense," explains how eliminating one-cent coins would save taxpayers $1 billion a decade and there’s been bi-partisan support for many years to eliminate pennies.
