唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump

“很久以来，美国已经铸造了几分钱，这实际上使我们花费了2美分。这太浪费了！”总统在周日晚上发布了真相社交。

President Donald Trump has announced plans to halt the production of new one-cent coins, a move that could drive up the value of rare in-circulation pennies as collectors seek out the most elusive and high-grade specimens.

唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统宣布计划停止生产新的单美分硬币，此举可能会推动罕见的循环便士价值，因为收藏家寻求最难以捉摸和最高级的标本。

"For far too long the United States has minted pennies which literally cost us more than 2 cents. This is so wasteful!" the president posted to Truth Social on Sunday night. "I have instructed my Secretary of the US Treasury to stop producing new pennies.

“很久以来，美国已经铸造了几分钱，这实际上使我们花费了2美分。这太浪费了！”总统在周日晚上发布了真相社交。 “我已经指示我的美国财政部长停止生产新的便士。

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

“即使是一次是一分钱，让我们从大国预算中撕下废物。”

Newsweek has contacted the Treasury Department regarding the minting decision.

Newsweek已就铸造决定联系了财政部。

While perhaps a surprising announcement from the president, not previously mentioned among his litany of campaign promises, Trump's decision aligns with his administration's focus on reducing wasteful government expenditure, and taps into a long-running debate over the continued utility of the currency's smallest denomination.

虽然总统的一项令人惊讶的宣布，但前面没有提到他的竞选承诺，但特朗普的决定与他的政府专注于减少浪费的政府支出相吻合，并就该货币最小的宗派的持续实用性进行了长期的辩论。

According to the U.S. Mint's 2024 report, making and circulating the one-cent coin cost 3.69 cents per penny. The Mint reported a loss of $85.3 million on the nearly 3.17 billion pennies it produced in the fiscal year ending September 2024.

根据美国造币厂的2024年报告，每一分钱的一分钱赚钱和循环成本为3.69美分。造币厂报告说，截至2024年9月的财政年度生产的近31.7亿便士损失了8,530万美元。

The move could also impact the American coin-collecting market, expected to double in size to $77.3 billion by 2034, according to Market Research Future. Putting a stop to the minting of new pennies could result in the most valuable coins—whose price is dictated by their rarity, historical significance, unique minting marks, condition and errors—to skyrocket.

根据市场研究的未来，此举还可能影响美国硬币收集的市场，预计到2034年的规模将翻一番，至773亿美元。停止铸造新的便士可能会导致最有价值的硬币，这是由它们的稀有性，历史意义，独特的铸造标记，状况和错误所决定的。

According to USA Coin Book, a collector-focused website that records and appraises all coins minted in the U.S., the rarest pennies can be worth millions of dollars, with the following ranked by their value in perfect condition.

根据美国硬币书籍的报道，以收藏家为中心的网站记录并评估了所有在美国铸造的硬币，最稀有的便士可以价值数百万美元，以下是其价值在完美状态下排名。

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an advisory body led by Elon Musk and tasked with identifying unnecessary government expenditures, previously argued for abolishing the penny, citing the high costs of manufacturing the coin.

政府效率部（DOGE）是由埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）领导的咨询机构，负责确定不必要的政府支出，此前曾主张废除一分钱，理由是制造硬币的高昂成本。

Todd Martin, chief spokesperson for the U.S. Mint, has pointed out that the coronavirus pandemic's impact on the retail sector affected the circulation of physical pennies.

美国造币厂的首席发言人托德·马丁（Todd Martin）指出，冠状病毒大流行对零售部门的影响影响了身体便士的循环。

"In normal circumstances, retail transactions and coin recyclers return a significant amount of coins to circulation on a daily basis," Martin told Reader's Digest in 2023. "There is an adequate amount of coins in the economy, but coins aren't circulating through the economy as quickly as they were prior to the COVID-19 pandemic."

马丁在2023年在读者的《消化》中说：“在正常情况下，零售交易和硬币回收商每天都会返回大量硬币进行流通。经济中有足够的硬币，但硬币并没有通过经济在19日大流行之前的经济很快。”

"It's expensive to mint coins, and it's also expensive for businesses to process small coins," Robert K. Triest, professor of economics at Northeastern University, recently told Northeastern Global News.

东北大学经济学教授罗伯特·K·特里斯特（Robert K. Triest）最近告诉《东北全球新闻》（Northeastern Global News）。

However, Triest questioned whether the president could unilaterally stop mintage of the penny.

但是，Triest质疑总统是否可以单方面停止一分钱的铸币。

"The process of discontinuing the penny in the U.S. is a little unclear," Triest said. "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."

特里斯特说：“停止在美国的一分钱的过程还不清楚。” “这很可能需要国会的行动，但财政部长可能能够简单地停止新的便士的铸造。”
