U.S. Treasury Department To Stop Penny Production
Digest more
The U.S. Mint has made its final order of penny blanks and plans to stop producing the coin when those run out.
The U.S. last week unveiled its plan to finally phase out the lowly penny. The Treasury Department has placed its last order for the coins, which will no longer be minted, though they will continue to be legal tender[17].
Treasury Department will take pennies out of circulation next year. Costly nickels, however, could cancel out savings.
