政府效率部可能很快就将目光投向了美国的货币,可能希望消除一分钱
The United States currency may soon be under scrutiny by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), with a potential focus on eliminating the penny, recent social posts suggest.
美国货币可能很快受到政府效率部(DOGE)的审查,潜在的重点是消除一分钱,最近的社会帖子建议。
In a post on X on Tuesday, DOGE highlighted that the penny costs more than three pennies to make, leading to “over $179 million” in taxpayer costs through 2023.
在周二X上的一篇文章中,Doge强调说,一分钱的成本超过三分,导致纳税人成本“超过1.79亿美元”到2023年。
Data from the US Mint shows that pennies accounted for over half of the 5.9 billion circulating coin shipments from the Federal Reserve in 2024. The cost of pennies has also risen to 3.69 cents, with the coin consistently “remaining above face value” over the last two decades.
美国造币厂的数据表明,一分钱在2024年从美联储的59亿枚循环硬币发货中的一半以上。便士的成本也增加到3.69美分,而硬币在最后一台持续的“保持面值”始终如一地上涨二十年。
Around 3.23 billion pennies were minted in 2024, according to the US Mint, compared to 4.52 billion in 2023.
根据美国造币厂的数据,2024年约有32.3亿便士被铸造,而2023年为45.2亿。
As DOGE is tasked to look into several aspects of government spending, the question of continuing to produce coins that have seen less use in recent years is now up for discussion.
由于Doge的任务是研究政府支出的几个方面,因此继续生产近年来使用较少使用的硬币的问题现在正在讨论。
But how valid are the department’s concerns about cash?
但是,部门对现金的担忧有多有效?
According to the Federal Reserve’s Diary of Consumer Payments Choice report, cash was the third-most-used payment method in 2024, “though its share of all payments declined as the total number of payments increased.”
根据美联储的消费者支付选择日记报告,现金是2024年第三大的付款方式,“尽管随着付款总数的增加,其所有付款的份额下降了。”
However, cash payments among Americans remained stable, with an average of seven payments per month made in cash by each person.
但是,美国人的现金付款保持稳定,每个人平均每月以现金付款7款。
The demographic that used cash the most included low-income households and individuals aged 55 and older. In-person shopping was also a key driver of cash usage.
使用现金最多的人群包括低收入家庭和55岁及以上的个人。面对面的购物也是现金使用的主要驱动力。
Dropping the creation of the penny wouldn’t be an entirely new concept, as several other countries have taken similar actions in recent years.
放弃一分钱的创造并不是一个全新的概念,因为近年来其他几个国家采取了类似的行动。
Canada stopped making its pennies in the early 2010s for the same reasons that the US might part ways with the coin.
加拿大在2010年代初停止了自己的便士,其原因与美国可能与硬币分开的原因相同。
With the penny out of circulation, purchases in Canada are rounded to the nearest nickel. For instance, if something costs $20.02, it will be rounded down to $20. On the other hand, if something costs $20.03, it will be rounded up to $20.05.
随着一分钱的流通,在加拿大的购买被四舍五入到最近的镍。例如,如果某事的价格为20.02美元,它将被舍入至20美元。另一方面,如果价格的价格为20.03美元,它将被四舍五入到20.05美元。
The Federal Reserve has also addressed this topic in recent years, stating in a 2022 report that “drastically reducing or ending the production of the penny” could lead to a “significant flow back of coin from consumers and businesses seeking to turn in their pennies.”
美联储近年来还谈到了这一主题,并在2022年的一份报告中指出,“大幅度降低或结束一分钱的生产”可能会导致“消费者和企业的大量资金恢复,他们寻求扭转便士。透明
The report also suggested that reducing the production of the penny could save the Mint about $100 million annually.
该报告还建议,减少一分钱的生产可以每年节省造币厂约1亿美元。
Despite the concerns, deciding to eliminate the penny wouldn’t be as simple as Musk asking President Trump to do so, as the Constitution gives powers to regulate the Federal Reserve to Congress.
尽管有担忧,但决定消除一分钱并不像马斯克要求特朗普总统这样做的简单,因为宪法赋予了向国会规范美联储的权力。
While Republicans do have control in Congress, DOGE is already facing legal troubles, with lawsuits filed challenging Trump’s ability to create the entity, which is separate from the US government but serves as an auditor.
尽管共和党人确实在国会有控制权,但杜格已经面临法律麻烦,诉讼提出了挑战特朗普建立实体的能力,该实体与美国政府不同,但作为审计师。
