一分钱省钱真的值得吗？在特朗普总统命令美国财政部停止铸造一分钱之后，收藏家本周问这个问题。

据美国造币厂报道，每一分钱的制造费用为3.7美分，美国财政部在2024年损失了8530万美元，产生了它们。

President Trump has ordered the U.S. Treasury Department to stop minting the penny, sparking questions among collectors about whether a penny saved could finally be truly worth it.

特朗普总统已命令美国财政部停止铸造一分钱，引发收藏家之间的问题，即节省的一分钱是否真的值得。

"For far too long the United States has minted pennies which literally cost us more than 2 cents. This is so wasteful!" Mr. Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Sunday. "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！”特朗普先生在周日的真理社会帖子中写道。 “我指示我的美国财政部长停止生产新的便士。”

Every penny costs 3.7 cents to manufacture and the U.S. Treasury lost $85.3 million in 2024 producing them, the U.S. Mint reported. Congress sets currency specifications, so it's unclear whether Mr. Trump has the power to eliminate the penny, but the president might be able to stop the Treasury from minting them.

据美国造币厂报道，每一分钱的制造费用为3.7美分，美国财政部在2024年损失了8530万美元，产生了它们。国会制定了货币规格，因此尚不清楚特朗普先生是否有权消除一分钱，但总统可能能够阻止财政部造成薄荷。

This is key, collectors say, to possibly driving up the price of 2025 pennies and rare pennies currently in circulation.

收藏家说，这可能是要提高目前流通的2025便士和稀有便士的价格。

"As an avid collector of coins, the coin collecting community is excited as the discontinuation of the penny is a historic event and it brings a renewed interest in rare and valuable editions," avid coin collector Scott Evans told CBS News.

Avid Coin Collector Scott Evans告诉CBS News：“作为硬币的狂热收藏家，硬币收集社区感到兴奋，因为一分钱是一项历史性的事件，它对稀有和有价值的版本产生了新的兴趣。”

He pointed to the rise in interest in Canada's penny after the country discontinued producing the coin in 2012 as a guide for collectors. The Royal Canadian Mint removed at least 6 billion pennies in the first three years after stopping production, depositing them at financial institutions and trucking them from coast to coast to recover their valuable copper and zinc, Canada's government said in a report analyzing its penny removal.

他指出，在该国在2012年停止生产硬币作为收藏家的指南之后，对加拿大一分钱的兴趣上升。加拿大政府在一份报告中分析了其一分钱的清除量的报告中说，加拿大皇家造币厂在停止生产后的头三年中至少取消了至少60亿美元的便士，并将其存放在金融机构中，并从海岸到海岸收回其有价值的铜和锌。

Over 3.5 billion Canadian pennies were returned in the first year alone, and fewer pennies meant more value for the ones left behind. Some valuable pennies include coins from the 1920s — as most pennies from this decade are hard to find, the Canadian Mint said — and from 1936, when only a few "dot" cents are known to exist, making them extremely rare.

仅第一年就返回了超过35亿加拿大的便士，更少的便士对留下的人意味着更多的价值。加拿大造币厂说，一些有价值的便士包括1920年代的硬币，因为这十年的大多数便士很难找到 - 从1936年开始，当时只有少数“点”美分存在，因此非常罕见。

This is what bullish collectors hope to see if production stops in the U.S. Evans referenced coins with errors on them or coins with significant dates that might see a big increase in value. Before 1982, pennies were made of 95% copper and 5% zinc, and those made of precious metals might see an increase. He pointed to pennies such as the 1943 Copper Penny or the 1982-D Small Date Copper Penny that might jump in price.

这就是看涨收藏家希望看到的是，美国埃文斯（Evans）是否会停止生产，引用了犯错的硬币，或者是硬币的大量日期可能会看到价值的大幅增长。 1982年之前，便士由95％的铜和5％的锌制成，而珍贵金属制成的锌可能会增加。他指出，诸如1943年的铜钱或1982-D小约会铜钱等便士，可能会涨价。

Rare coin and precious metal collector Jonathan Aminov told CBS News he doesn't predict a huge jump in price for the penny.

稀有的硬币和贵金属收藏家乔纳森·阿米诺夫（Jonathan Aminov）告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，他预计一分钱的价格不会巨大。

"I get calls about pennies all day long," said Aminov, who owns Big Apple Coins in Manhattan.

在曼哈顿拥有大苹果硬币的阿米诺夫说：“我整天都接到了有关便士的电话。”

He said the U.S. won't see a foreseeable shortage of pennies anytime because there are too many coins in circulation.

他说，美国不会随时看到可预见的便士短缺，因为流通的硬币太多了。

Aminov said collectors might see interest in the 2025 penny because that was the year the coin stopped being minted. If 500 million pennies were ordered for the year and 50 million were minted, then those coins are going to be more desirable, he said.

阿米诺夫（Aminov）说，收藏家可能会看到对2025 Penny的兴趣，因为那一年硬币不再被铸造。他说，如果订购了5亿便士，并铸造了5000万便士，那么这些硬币将更加理想。

He also cautioned that it would be difficult to obtain big prices for pennies as the coin would have to be extremely rare saying, "Pennies are a bit of a longshot."

他还警告说，很难获得便士的高价格，因为硬币必须非常罕见的话：“便士有点长。”

However, the end of penny production can bring new interest and collectors into a hobby that Aminov says could be a good thing. And once someone is hooked on coin collecting it's hard to get out, he says.

但是，一分钱生产的终结可以使新的兴趣和收藏家成为一种爱好，阿米诺夫说这可能是一件好事。他说，一旦有人迷上了硬币收集，就很难离开。

"It's easy to fall in love with coins," said Aminov. "And the people who love it really, really love it. They spend obscene amounts of money to purchase their coin and then stare at it for hours in love with its beauty and history."

阿米诺夫说：“爱上硬币很容易。” “那些真正喜欢它的人真的很喜欢它。他们花了大量的钱购买硬币，然后凝视着它，爱上了它的美丽和历史。”
