唐納德·特朗普總統宣布，他正在指示財政部停止生產新便士，聲稱成本太高。

"For far too long the United States has minted pennies which literally cost us more than 2 cents. This is so wasteful! I have instructed my Secretary of the US Treasury to stop producing new pennies. Let's rip the waste out of our great nations budget, even if it's a penny at a time," Trump wrote on his Truth Social account.

Last month, Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, which is led by billionaire Elon Musk, shared a post on X, a social media platform owned by Musk, claiming that it now costs three cents to produce a penny, which is triple its value and cost taxpayers an estimated $179 million in fiscal year 2023.

上個月，由億萬富翁埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）領導的特朗普​​政府效率部門在X上分享了X上的帖子，這是馬斯克擁有的社交媒體平台，聲稱現在花費三分錢來生產一分錢，這是其價值和成本三倍納稅人在2023財政年度估計為1.79億美元。

"The penny costs over 3 cents to make and cost US taxpayers over $179 million in FY2023. The Mint produced over 4.5 billion pennies in FY2023, around 40% of the 11.4 billion coins for circulation produced. Penny (or 3 cents!) for your thoughts," the department wrote, citing articles by JMBullion.com and CoinNews.net.

“一分錢的成本超過3美分，使我們的納稅人在2023財年賺了1.79億美元。造幣廠在2023財年生產了超過45億美元的便士，在生產的循環中，約有40％的貨幣。該部門寫道：“思想寫道，援引jmbullion.com和coinnews.net的文章。

The U.S. Mint had already decreased the production of the penny by an estimated 29% margin from 2023 and 2024 and data shared by the bureau showed coin production declined for the fourth consecutive year, CoinNews.net reported. The outlet also acknowledged that the Federal Reserve typically orders more pennies to be minted than any other coin for currency.

據CoinNews.s.net報導，美國造幣廠已經從2023年和2024年將一分錢的生產減少了29％，並且該局共享的數據顯示，連續第四年的硬幣產量下降了。該商店還承認，美聯儲通常訂購比任何其他硬幣的鑄造的便利。

Several other countries have already ceased production of one cent coins including neighboring Canada, which did so in 2012. Canada's decision to cut out its one cent coin was due to most grocery store prices ending in 9 and an estimated $3.27 million more being spent in Canadian dollars at grocery stores with prices rounded up to the nearest nickel, according to the Atlantic Economic Journal.

其他幾個國家已經停止了包括鄰國加拿大在內的一分錢的生產，該硬幣在2012年做到了。加拿大削減其一分錢的決定是由於大多數雜貨店價格以9次結束，估計在加拿大花費了327萬加元根據《大西洋經濟雜誌》的報導，雜貨店的美元匯總到最近的鎳。
