羅切斯特硬幣店老闆在一分錢生產結束時稱重

作為減少政府支出的努力的一部分，唐納德·特朗普總統指示停止生產便士。

President Donald Trump has instructed the government to stop producing pennies as part of his efforts to reduce government spending.

唐納德·特朗普總統已指示政府停止生產便士，這是他減少政府支出的努力的一部分。

To learn more about the impacts this halt may bring, KTTC visited Rochester’s Med City Coin and Bullion.

為了更多地了解這種停頓可能帶來的影響，KTTC訪問了羅切斯特的Med City Coin和Bullion。

“I’m for it, because I think change is kind of going away anyway,” Owner Mike DeMarino said. “Most people don’t use them. They leave them or they drop them on the ground or don’t even worry about them.”

店主邁克·德馬里諾（Mike DeMarino）說：“我為此，因為我認為變革無論如何都會消失。” “大多數人不使用它們。他們離開他們，或者將它們丟在地上，甚至不用擔心它們。”

The only advantage to continuing penny production is for giving back exact change, DeMarino said.

Demarino說，繼續一分錢生產的唯一優勢是歸還確切的變化。

“When it comes to buying, you’re going to have to figure a way out to round it up to the next nickel. That’s the only positive is you can get exact change, but I think with the penny being worth so little that I think it’s going to be easier just to transition into not having it around.”

“在購買方面，您將不得不弄清楚它的出路才能將其四捨五入到下一個鎳。那是唯一的積極的是，您可以得到確切的變化，但是我認為，隨著一分錢的價值很少，我認為過渡到不周圍會更容易。”

DeMarino said it costs about three cents to make a penny and with billions of pennies already present, halting the coin’s production will not have a significant impact.

德馬里諾說，賺一分錢和數十億美元已經存在，花費大約三美分，停止了硬幣的產量不會產生重大影響。

“I don’t know if it really means much for the coin store owners other than maybe people getting the excitement now to start collecting pennies, because when something goes out of stock — not out of style, but out of circulation — anybody wants to grab as many as they can so that might happen,” he said. “As far as me dealing with pennies around here other than the bubble gum machine, it isn’t going to matter to me.”

“我不知道這對硬幣商店所有者是否真的有意義，除了人們現在受到興奮開始收集便士，因為當某些東西掉了庫存時，庫存並不是時尚，但沒有流通 - 任何人都想去盡可能多地抓住，這可能會發生。”他說。 “就我在這裡與泡泡膠機以外的幾分錢打交道，這對我來說並不重要。”

The reason for this insignificant impact is because the metal used to make these pennies aren’t very valuable, DeMarino said.

Demarino說，這種微不足道的影響是因為用來使這些便士的金屬並不是很有價值。

“They make a lot of them now. There’s going to be many to use in the next bunch of years to come, but ultimately, there’s no precious metal in the current one-cent coin now anyway. They’re made of zinc covered in copper. I don’t think there’s going to be a high demand.”

“他們現在做了很多。在接下來的幾年中，將會有很多東西可以使用，但是最終，現在目前的單美分硬幣中沒有貴金屬。它們由銅覆蓋的鋅製成。我認為不會有很高的需求。”

DeMarino said one example of a country that stopped using one-cent coins is Canada, which has been out of production since 2012.

Demarino說，一個不再使用單美分硬幣的國家是加拿大，自2012年以來一直停產。

“I see both sides,” he said. “Honestly. If it was me, I’d get rid of it.”

他說：“我看到雙方。” “誠實地。如果是我，我會擺脫它。”
