"For far too long the United States has minted pennies which literally cost us more than 2 cents," Trump wrote. "This is so wasteful!"

特朗普寫道：“長期以來，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！”

他補充說：“我指示我的美國財政部長停止生產新的便士。” “即使一次是一分錢，讓我們從我們的偉大國家的預算中撕下廢物。”

The president sent out the message at 9:27 p.m., apparently not long after he attended the first half of the Super Bowl in New Orleans.

His latest penny proclamation follows the Trump-launched temporary Department of Government Efficiency — which is led by multi-billionaire Elon Musk — writing on X last month that the coin "costs over 3 cents to make and cost[s] U.S. taxpayers over $179 million" in the 2023 fiscal year.

Per the U.S. Mint's annual report in 2024, the production and distribution of the penny cost roughly 3.69 cents, marking the 19th consecutive fiscal year it has "remained above face value." Similarly, the cost of the nickel was more to produce than its own value, at 13.78 cents.

“The process of discontinuing the penny in the U.S. is a little unclear," Northeastern University economics professor Robert K. Triest previously said, per the AP. "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.”

The latest social media statement from Trump comes amid a variety of promises and executive orders signed by the president since he kicked off his second term on Jan. 20. In addition to attempts to end birthright citizenship and pardon the roughly 1,500 people convicted over of their roles in the 2021 Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Trump has also tried to make changes to specific long-standing institutions in the U.S. such as the Kennedy Center.

特朗普的最新社交媒體聲明是在總統於1月20日開始第二任期以來的各種諾言和執行命令中提出的。除了試圖結束生育權公民身份，並赦免了大約1,500人被定罪的人。特朗普在2021年1月6日的國會大廈騷亂中的角色也試圖改變美國肯尼迪中心等特定長期存在的機構。

On Friday, he wrote on Truth Social that he intended to terminate current officials and replace the board's chairman with himself, in an effort to make the cultural center "great again." In response that night, the Kennedy Center revealed that it had "received no official communications from the White House" regarding Trump's declared changes.
