特朗普總統已命令美國財政部斧頭“浪費”一分錢

特朗普總統命令美國財政部在社交媒體上吵架，同時在新奧爾良觀看超級碗時，將一分錢納入“浪費”。

President Trump has ordered the U.S. Treasury to stop producing new pennies during a social media rant on Sunday evening.

特朗普總統已命令美國財政部在周日晚上的社交媒體上停止生產新的便士。

At 8:30 p.m., Trump took to Truth Social to fire the demand at the Treasury, citing the rising costs attributed to the one-cent coin – a longstanding debate that was recently spotlighted by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency on X last month.

晚上8:30，特朗普實現了社交，以歸因於單美分硬幣的上漲成本，以解散財政部的需求，這是一場長期以來的辯論，最近由埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）的政府效率部X上個月在X上表明。

Musk's team of DOGE geniuses have reportedly identified and cut more than $1 billion in federal spending since it began pillaging government departments.

據報導，馬斯克的杜格天才團隊已經確定並削減了超過10億美元的聯邦支出，因為它開始掠奪政府部門。

"For far too long the United States has been manufacturing pennies which cost us more than 2 cents. This is so wasteful! I have instructed my Secretary of the U.S. Treasury to stop making new pennies," Trump wrote.

特朗普寫道：“長期以來，美國一直在製造幾分錢，花了我們2美分。這太浪費了！我指示我的美國財政部長停止製造新的便士。”

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

“即使一次是一分錢，讓我們從大國的預算中消除浪費。”

At present, there are estimated to be around 250 billion pennies in circulation in the U.S. and the symbolic coin was first issued in 1793.

目前，據估計在美國流通約2500億美元，象徵性硬幣於1793年首次發行。

But dismally in 2024, the U.S. Mint announced that each one-cent penny cost 3.69 cents to manufacture – a price that amounts to over three and a half times the coin’s face value.

但在2024年，美國造幣廠宣布，每一分錢的生產成本為3.69美分 - 價格超過了硬幣的面值的三倍半。

The Treasury Department also stated that costs had been driven up since the previous year with the penny’s unit cost increasing by 20.2 percent, the nickel by 19.4 percent, the dime 8.7 percent, and the quarter-dollar by 26.2 percent.

財政部還指出，自上一年以來，成本已上漲，一分錢的單位成本增加了20.2％，鎳提高了19.4％，一毛幣8.7％，四分之一美元的成本增加了26.2％。

However, this came in tandem with a reported loss of $85.3 million in the 2024 fiscal year and a revelation that “the unit cost for pennies (3.69 cents) and nickels (13.78 cents) remained above face value for the 19th consecutive fiscal year.”

但是，這是據報導在2024財政年度虧損的8530萬美元，並有一個啟示，即“一分錢的單位成本（3.69美分）和鎳（13.78美分）在連續第19財政年度的面值高於面值。”

Like many of Trump’s elaborate calls for reform, it is unclear whether he will be able to follow through with his demands without facing difficult obstacles from Congress as they control specifications such as the size and metal content of coins.

就像特朗普許多詳盡的改革呼籲一樣，尚不清楚他是否能夠跟進自己的要求，而不會面臨國會的困難，因為他們控制了諸如硬幣的大小和金屬含量。

Lawmakers may be forced to pass legislation on cash transactions unable to be divided by the next lowest denomination – the five-cent coin, according to Fortune. In the past, the legislature has discussed the premise of rounding prices up or down to the nearest five cents.

據《財富》報導，立法者可能被迫通過現金交易無法除以下一個最低派別的現金交易 - 五美分的硬幣。過去，立法機關討論了將價格上漲至最接近的五美分的前提。

Trump's involvement of Musk in ransacking federal departments while they trace financial holes in the system has attracted waves of widespread criticism in recent weeks. Primarily, due to its muddied roster of staff, who have made several daring attempts to claim authority and directed expeditious cuts across the board – and DOGE doesn't appear to be halting its efforts anytime soon.

特朗普對馬斯克的介入聯邦部門的參與，他們追踪系統中的財務漏洞，在最近幾週引起了廣泛的批評。主要是，由於其混亂的員工名冊，他們做出了幾次大膽的企圖要求權威並進行了迅速削減的努力 - 而Doge似乎並沒有很快停止其努力。
