USA decided to discontinue the 1 Cent due to the fact it costs more to produce and destribute. Dont miss out on getting the last Penny!
In February 2025, President Trump directed the Treasury Department to halt penny production, citing the absurd economics of spending 4 cents to produce each 1-cent coin. This executive action followed decades of failed Congressional attempts to eliminate the penny, including bills by Senators McCain and Kolbe.

The U.S. Mint responded by limiting 2025 production to a brief January run, creating an estimated mintage of only 250,000 business strikes—a fraction of typical annual production. Philadelphia and Denver mints struck limited quantities before shutting down cent production entirely. San Francisco continued only with proof strikes for collectors, maintaining the Shield reverse design introduced in 2010.

This abrupt halt triggered immediate market speculation. Unlike previous “last year” coins that saw gradual phase-outs, the 2025 penny’s production ceased without warning, catching collectors off-guard. The combination of extremely low mintage, historical significance as potentially the final U.S. cent, and uncertain legal status (Congress could still override the executive order) has created unprecedented demand.

Whether 2025 truly represents the penny’s finale remains uncertain, but its place in numismatic history as the year America finally said “a penny for your thoughts” might be too expensive is already secured.
