End of the line

On May 22, 2025, the U.S. Treasury announced the phase-out of the one cent coin, after placing the final order for coin blanks; production will continue until the stock of blanks runs out.[4][5] The penny will still remain legal tender and in circulation.

Did we discuss the Penny already? in another thread?

Someone in the next year will own the last cent ever made. Hopefully, the Smithsonian.

Oddly enough, many cc users have never made cents,

[HitRed]

Maybe a Lincoln dime.

The cost of making nickels is expensive. When do we do away with coins?

We should just flip it and make coins the big denom and paper the small denom

-------- Already said, TRUMP has the Great Achievement of THE 2nd Lincoln Assassination... ....
------------ Thanks to lazy people... Credit Cards, technology, paying with phones... People are losing the skill, of preforming basic math...If you have seen cashiers today, try and give you back your change...
------------ As for The last penny..... Someone working at one of the U.S. mints...Will , most likely stick it in their pocket...
---------- The most sad thing....IS THE LOSS OF FINDING A LUCKY PENNY/coin...My friends and I, would spend our summers in High School...In Windsor, Ontario, Canada...Just a hop across the river...I liked The Ambassador Bridge...But most times, we were in Downtown, and took the tunnel bus...One day we were eating in the park...On the river in Canada... Construction was going on...I knocked my drink over...Stuff/dirt had went through the construction fence...My drink had washed some away.....I found a 1919 Penny of The British Empire...I still have it...I have a thing you could put a Kennedy half dollar in...The 1919 penny is the same size...I put the Penny in it...Used to wear it around my neck...Now I always have it with me, in my wallet...
------------ Where computers will crash, or like The Canadians who supported the Truckers...Had the government wipe their accounts, with a push of a button... Paper money crumbles....Coins last forever...Like coins from Ancient Rome, Greece,Etc...It is sad, that Humanity, is erasing their own history, with getting rid of Coins...... ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)...

[ConfederateSS]

-----I even have some Canadian dollar, 1 dollar bills...( Before Canada switched to loonies (1 dollar coins/2 dollar coins))...In picture frames...... ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)...

Pennies? The copper ones do, however... Those crappy zinc ones disolve.

If you go coin hunting with a metal detector you can find pennies from even over a century ago, in pretty good shape because they're copper.

Older zinc pennies from fifteen years ago not so much. Corrosion makes them dissapear.

Hopefully we will not see the END of Dimes any time soon. Dimes contribute TOO MUCH GOOD, right?

Will we see the Return of the March of Dimes, though?

REALLY? this is the guy I SHOULD KNOW about? NAH, no need. Looking for and reading information about his guy DID NOT improve my life ONE IOTA.

The world has enough morons, and pee rat apparently loves morons; pee rat fills my quota of such folks.

Back on topic:

AI Overview
It currently costs roughly 6 cents, or $0.0576, to make and distribute a dime. This includes the raw materials (about 2.09 cents), plus the costs of labor, minting, and distribution, according to Money Digest. The cost of producing a dime has increased by 8.7% over the past year, says AP News.

Producing a dime today costs roughly 5.2 cents, hence the U.S. Mint gains 4.8 cents every dime

This makes sense and cents, more so than some minor rock band.

Good to see the USA finally catching up to Australia. We did away with 1 and 2 cent coins many many moons ago, before my hair turned grey, even BCC (before conquerclub).
I still have over 300 US pennies from my last trip over there. Still couldn't get over having to enter my PIN for every single card transaction as well.. Catch up my friends, we are waiting for you.

Counterculture here. I have stacks of 1943 Australian Florins.

I now have the "chip" as well as the Tap feature on my credit cards. Tap requires nothing else from me, as I recall, for nearly all or even all uses.

One credit card, though, still uses the magnetic strip. Change is slow, most of the time.

The few times and places I now use cash, pennies are often needed because of the sales tax. Generally, most merchants simply round the amount to avoid the need for pennies. btw: Sales tax in most of the USA varies by states and locales within the state (at least that is true in VA where I live).
