节省的一分钱真的值得吗？

在特朗普总统向美国财政部的指示中，收藏家本周将在本周思考这个问题，以阻止潘妮铸造。

President Trump has directed the U.S. Treasury Department to halt penny minting.

特朗普总统已指示美国财政部制止潘妮造币厂。

The move comes amid rising production costs, with each penny reportedly costing 3.7 cents to make.

此举是由于生产成本不断上升，据报道每一分钱的成本为3.7美分。

According to the U.S. Mint, penny production resulted in a loss of $85.3 million in 2024.

根据美国造币厂的说法，一分钱的产量在2024年损失了8530万美元。

While Congress ultimately controls currency specifications, the president may have the authority to prevent the Treasury from minting new pennies.

尽管国会最终控制货币规格，但总统可能有权防止财政部造成新的便士。

The decision could lead to an increase in the value of 2025 pennies and rare coins currently in circulation.

该决定可能导致2025便士的价值和目前流通的稀有硬币的增加。

Coin collectors are expressing excitement over the potential impact on the hobby.

硬币收集者对对爱好的潜在影响表示兴奋。

"As a passionate coin collector, I and many in the coin collecting community are thrilled; the end of the penny is a landmark event that ignites renewed enthusiasm for rare and valuable editions," collector Scott Evans told CBS News.

收藏家斯科特·埃文斯（Scott Evans）告诉CBS新闻：“作为一个热情的硬币收藏家，我和硬币收集社区中的许多人都很兴奋；一分钱的结束是一个具有里程碑意义的活动，对稀有和有价值的版本产生了新的热情。”

Evans pointed to Canada's experience after discontinuing the penny in 2012.

埃文斯（Evans）指出了加拿大在2012年停止一分钱后的经验。

Following the decision, the Royal Canadian Mint retrieved at least 6 billion pennies in the first three years, moving them to financial institutions for the recovery of valuable copper and zinc, according to a government analysis of the penny's removal.

根据政府对一分钱的撤职分析，加拿大皇家造币厂在头三年中至少取回了至少60亿美元的便士，将其转移到金融机构以回收有价值的铜和锌。

In the first year alone, over 3.5 billion Canadian pennies were returned.

仅在第一年，就返回了超过35亿加拿大的便士。

As fewer pennies circulated, the remaining coins gained more value. Some notable examples include coins from the 1920s, which the Canadian Mint notes are generally harder to find, and particular coins from 1936, of which only a few "dot" cents are known to exist, making them exceptionally rare.

随着较少的几分钱流传，其余硬币获得了更多的价值。一些值得注意的例子包括1920年代的硬币，加拿大薄荷的音符通常很难找到，以及1936年的特定硬币，其中只有少数“点”美分存在，因此它们异常罕见。

This scenario is what optimistic collectors are hoping to see replicated in the U.S.

这种情况是乐观的收藏家希望在美国看到的复制

Evans noted that coins with errors or those minted significantly could see substantial increases in value.

埃文斯（Evans）指出，具有错误或铸造的硬币可能会看到价值大幅增加。

Before 1982, pennies comprised 95% copper and 5% zinc, which could potentially enhance the value of those made from the precious metal.

在1982年之前，便士占95％的铜和5％的锌，这可能会增强贵金属的价值。

He highlighted specific pennies, like the 1943 Copper Penny or the 1982-D Small Date Copper Penny, that might experience a price surge.

他强调了特定的便士，例如1943年的铜钱或1982-D小约会铜钱，可能会经历价格上涨。

However, rare coin and precious metal collector Jonathan Aminov told CBS News that he does not personally anticipate a drastic increase in penny prices.

但是，稀有的硬币和贵金属收集者乔纳森·阿米诺夫（Jonathan Aminov）告诉CBS新闻，他个人不会预期便士价格会大幅上涨。

"I get asked about pennies every single day," said Aminov, owner of Big Apple Coins in Manhattan.

曼哈顿大苹果硬币的老板阿米诺夫说：“我每天都会被问到几分钱。”

He noted that the U.S. is unlikely to face a shortage of pennies anytime soon due to the vast number of coins already in circulation.

他指出，由于已经发行了大量硬币，美国不太可能在很快就会面对不足的便士。

Aminov mentioned that the 2025 penny might become more sought-after as it marks the year production ceased.

阿米诺夫（Aminov）提到，2025年的一分钱可能会变得更受欢迎，因为它标志着一年的生产停止。

"If they ordered 500 million pennies and they only made 50 million pennies, those pennies are going to be desirable," he explained.

他解释说：“如果他们订购了5亿便士，只赚5000万便士，那些便士将是可取的。”

However, he cautioned that fetching high prices for pennies is challenging, emphasizing that a coin must be exceptionally rare for this to happen.

但是，他警告说，为便士提供高价的价格是具有挑战性的，强调硬币必须非常罕见。

"Pennies are kind of a longshot," Aminov said.

阿米诺夫说：“便士有点长。”

Despite the challenges, the cessation of penny production could spark renewed interest and attract new collectors to the hobby, which Aminov believes could be beneficial.

尽管面临挑战，但一分钱生产的停止仍可能引起新的兴趣，并吸引新的收藏家成为爱好，阿米诺夫认为这可能是有益的。

"Once people get into coin collecting, it's very hard to get out of it," he said.

他说：“一旦人们进入硬币收集，就很难摆脱它。”

"Those who cherish it truly, truly do. They invest significant amounts of money to acquire their coins and then admire them for hours, captivated by their beauty and history."

“那些真正，真正地珍惜它的人。他们投入了大量的钱来购买硬币，然后欣赏他们几个小时，被他们的美丽和历史所吸引。”
