美國便士即將來臨的“死亡”聚焦了硬幣自己的價格標籤 - 近4美分，以製造和分發每種價格，或者四倍。

唐納德·特朗普總統呼籲他的政府停止一分錢的幾個月後，美國造幣廠本周宣布，它已經製作了最終的一分錢空白訂單，併計劃在耗儘後停止製作新的1美分硬幣。

The impending “death” of the U.S. penny has spotlighted the coin’s own price tag — nearly 4 cents to make and distribute each, or quadruple its value.

美國一分錢即將來臨的“死亡”焦點介紹了硬幣自己的價格標籤 - 將近4美分用於製造和分發，或者將其價值四倍。

Months after President Donald Trump called on his administration to cease penny production, the U.S. Mint announced this week that it had made its final order of penny blanks — and plans to stop making new 1 cent coins after those run out.

唐納德·特朗普總統呼籲他的政府停止一分錢的幾個月後，美國造幣廠本周宣布，它已經製作了最終的一分錢空白訂單，併計劃在耗儘後停止製作新的1美分硬幣。

Coin production costs vary thanks to different raw metals used, complexity of their designs, labor needed and more. Many of those expenses have been on the rise — and the penny isn’t the only coin entering our wallets today that costs more to make than it’s worth (enter the nickel debate).

由於使用了不同的原始金屬，其設計的複雜性，所需的人工等等，硬幣生產成本各不相同。這些費用中有許多一直在上升 - 一分錢並不是當今唯一進入我們錢包的硬幣，其成本要高於價值（輸入鎳辯論）。

Here’s a rundown of U.S. Mint production costs from the government’s latest fiscal year.

這是政府最新財政年度以來美國造幣廠生產成本的利潤。

Each penny costs nearly 4 cents — or $0.0369, to be exact — for the U.S. Mint to make and distribute.

每一分錢的成本近4美分（確切地說是$ 0.0369）才能使美國造幣廠製作和分發。

In total, America’s coin manufacturer said it shipped more than 3.17 billion pennies throughout its 2024 fiscal year. That’s notably less pennies than it sent the year prior (when nearly 4.14 billion 1-cent pieces went out) — but circulating shipment for all coins was down about 44% overall. The Mint often changes its new circulation based on public demand and seasonal trends.

美國硬幣製造商總體而言，它在2024財政年度的運輸量超過31.7億美元。這比一年前寄出的便士要少（當近41.4億1美分的零件出現時），但是所有硬幣的發貨量總計下降了約44％。造幣廠通常會根據公共需求和季節性趨勢改變其新的流通。

At the same time, the penny’s “unit cost” has gone up in recent years. The nearly 4 cent price tag is up 20.2% from the Mint’s 2023 report, when a penny cost just over 3 cents.

同時，近年來，一分錢的“單位成本”增加了。近4％的價格比薄荷的2023年報告上漲了20.2％，當時一分錢的成本剛剛超過3美分。

Each nickel costs nearly 14 cents ($0.1378) to make and distribute. That price tag is nearly triple the five-cent coin’s buying power today.

每個鎳的製作和分發成本近14美分（0.1378美元）。這個價格標籤幾乎是五美分硬幣今天的購買力三倍。

The unit costs for both the penny and the nickel have remained above face value for 19 consecutive years, the Mint noted in its latest annual report. And, like the penny, the nickel has also seen recent price jumps — with the latest 14 cent cost up 19.4% from the 2023 fiscal year, when its cost sat under 12 cents.

MINT在其最新的年度報告中指出，一分錢和鎳的單位成本連續19年保持在面值之上。而且，就像一分錢一樣，鎳的價格也漲幅了 - 最新的14美分比2023財政年度的成本增長了19.4％，當時其成本不到12美分。

U.S. Mint reported shipping 202 million nickels over its 2024 fiscal year, down from nearly 1.42 billion sent out the year prior.

美國造幣廠報告說，在2024財政年度運輸了2.02億鎳，低於一年前派出的近14.2億美元。

Each dime costs nearly 6 cents ($0.0576) to make and distribute.

每個角錢的製作和分發成本近6美分（0.0576美元）。

That represents more than half of the 10 cent coin’s buying power. And the cost of producing and distributing the dime increased 8.7% over the last year.

這代表了10美分硬幣的購買力中的一半以上。去年，生產和分配一角錢的成本增長了8.7％。

In total, the U.S. Mint reported shipping 840 million dimes for its 2024 fiscal year — down from nearly 2.67 billion the year beforehand.

美國造幣廠總共報告了其2024財政年度的運輸8.4億角錢，低於預一年的近26.7億。

The quarter costs nearly 15 cents ($0.1468) to make and distribute.

該季度的製造和分發成本將近15美分（0.1468美元）。

That’s also more than half of the 25 cent coin’s buying power today. The quarter’s unit cost has increased by 26.2% since the Mint’s 2023 report, when its price tag was closer to 12 cents.

這也是今天25美分硬幣的購買力中的一半以上。自造幣廠的2023年報告以來，該季度的單位成本增長了26.2％，當時其價格接近12美分。

U.S. Mint said it shipped more than 1.6 billion quarters in the 2024 fiscal year, down from about 2.27 billion the year prior.

美國造幣廠表示，在2024財政年度，它的季度超過16億季度，低於一年前的22.7億。

The half-dollar coin costs nearly 34 cents ($0.3397) to make and distribute.

半美元硬幣的製造和分發成本近34美分（0.3397美元）。

That represents nearly two-thirds of the 50 cent piece’s buying power. And its price has increased by more than 30% since the 2023 fiscal year, when the coin’s production cost was just under 26 cents.

這代表了50分錢的購買力中的近三分之二。自2023財政年度以來，其價格上漲了30％以上，當時硬幣的生產成本不到26美分。

U.S. Mint said it shipped 52 million half-dollar coins in its 2024 fiscal year, up from 18 million coins shipped in the 2023 period.

美國造幣廠表示，它在2024財政年度運行了5200萬個半美元硬幣，高於2023年期間的1800萬枚硬幣。

Coins aren’t the only form of physical money that vary in production costs. Dollar bills also see differences due to paper and ink used, labor and other expenses.

硬幣並不是唯一在生產成本中變化的物質貨幣的形式。美元賬單還看到由於紙張和墨水，勞動力和其他費用而引起的差異。

Here are the latest printing costs for U.S. paper notes, according to the Federal Reserve:
