On Wednesday, the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia struck the nation’s final 1-cent coin as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach attended the ceremonial last punch.
President Donald Trump ordered the Treasury earlier this year to halt penny production, noting that each coin costs 3.69 cents to manufacture — a price tag that simply made no cents anymore.
