为了更多地了解这种停顿可能带来的影响，KTTC访问了罗切斯特的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.”

店主迈克·德马里诺（Mike DeMarino）说：“我为此，因为我认为变革无论如何都会消失。” “大多数人不使用它们。他们离开他们，或者将它们丢在地上，甚至不用担心它们。”

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

Demarino说，继续一分钱生产的唯一优势是归还确切的变化。

“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.”

“在购买方面，您将不得不弄清楚它的出路才能将其四舍五入到下一个镍。那是唯一的积极的是，您可以得到确切的变化，但是我认为，随着一分钱的价值很少，我认为过渡到不周围会更容易。”

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.

德马里诺说，赚一分钱和数十亿美元已经存在，花费大约三美分，停止了硬币的产量不会产生重大影响。

“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.”

“我不知道这对硬币商店所有者是否真的有意义，除了人们现在受到兴奋开始收集便士，因为当某些东西掉了库存时，库存并不是时尚，但没有流通 - 任何人都想去尽可能多地抓住，这可能会发生。”他说。 “就我在这里与泡泡胶机以外的几分钱打交道，这对我来说并不重要。”

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

Demarino说，这种微不足道的影响是因为用来使这些便士的金属并不是很有价值。

“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.”

“他们现在做了很多。在接下来的几年中，将会有很多东西可以使用，但是最终，现在目前的单美分硬币中没有贵金属。它们由铜覆盖的锌制成。我认为不会有很高的需求。”

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

Demarino说，一个不再使用单美分硬币的国家是加拿大，自2012年以来一直停产。

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

他说：“我看到双方。” “诚实地。如果是我，我会摆脱它。”
