美国终于停止了便士的生产

特朗普总统的命令停止制作“便士”并不是联邦政府第一次停止生产硬币派别用于流通

President Trump’s order to stop making "pennies" is not the first time the federal government discontinued the production of a coin denomination for use in circulation, explains veteran rare coin dealer and award-winning numismatic author Dr. Michael Fuljenz, president of Universal Coin & Bullion (www.UniversalCoin.com) in Beaumont, Texas.

"The last time that happened was 92 years ago in 1933, but it happened several times in the 1800s with the halt in production of coins that were no longer useful or not popular, such as half-cents, two-cent coins, and the short-lived twenty-cent denomination coins," said Fuljenz.

“最后一次发生的是1933年的92年前，但在1800年代发生了几次，因为硬币的生产停止了，这些硬币不再有用或不受欢迎，例如半美分，两美分硬币和短暂的二十美分宗派硬币。”富扬兹说。

"Major countries around the world from Canada to Sweden to Australia have eliminated their lowest denomination coins and it was time for the United States to stop making pennies," he stated.

他说：“从加拿大到瑞典再到澳大利亚的世界主要国家已经消除了他们最低的面额硬币，现在是时候停止赚钱了。”

Technically, the U.S. actually does not make pennies.

从技术上讲，美国实际上并没有赚钱。

"The official designation is cent. The common terms ‘penny’ and ‘pennies’ date back to colonial times when English pennies were in circulation. The first U.S. one-cent denomination coins, made of copper and about the size of a modern quarter-dollar, were struck for circulation starting in 1793. The cent was reduced to the size we have today in 1856, and Abraham Lincoln has appeared on the front of U.S. cents since 1909," explained Fuljenz.

“官方名称为百分点。英国便士流通时的常见术语'penny'和'pennies'的日期是殖民时代。美国第一个由铜制成的美国第一个一美分面额硬币，大约是现代四分之一的大小。美元从1793年开始被击中。从1909年以来，亚伯拉罕·林肯（Abraham Lincoln）自1909年以来就出现在美国的前面。”富扬兹解释说。

"U.S. Lincoln one-cent denomination coins used to be composed of 95 percent copper, however, since 1982 have been made of 97.5 percent zinc with a 2.5 percent plating of copper," explained Fuljenz. "The United States Mint Director Ventris Gibson told me in January that the cost of making one penny has now grown to over four cents each."

富扬兹解释说：“美国林肯一美分面额硬币过去由95％的铜组成，但是自1982年以来，锌的锌是97.5％，铜的镀铜为2.5％。” “美国造币厂董事文特里斯·吉布森（Ventris Gibson）在一月份告诉我，一分钱的成本已经增长到四美分。”

The cover story by Fuljenz in the February-March 2025 edition of COINage Magazine, "Do Pennies Make Sense," explains how eliminating one-cent coins would save taxpayers $1 billion a decade and there’s been bi-partisan support for many years to eliminate pennies.
