一分錢快死了。有人哀悼嗎？

The American penny will begin its slow fade into non-existence as the government plans stop making the U.S. currency next year.

隨著政府計劃明年停止使用美國貨幣，美國便士將開始緩慢淡出淡出的淡出。

The U.S. Treasury Department on Thursday announced a plan to stop putting new pennies into circulation by early 2026, marking the beginning of the end for the one-cent coin that has been part of American currency for more than 200 years, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

根據《華爾街日報》的一份報告，美國財政部宣布了一項計劃，計劃在2026年初之前停止將新的便士流通，這標誌著一份已成為美國貨幣已有200多年一部分的單美分硬幣的結局。

Once new pennies are no longer entered into circulation, the coin’s availability dwindles and eventually there will not be enough coins for cash transactions.

一旦新便士不再流通，硬幣的可用性下降，最終將沒有足夠的硬幣進行現金交易。

The U.S. Mint has made the last order of pennies and will end production of the coin when those run out, a Treasury Department said in a statement and first reported by the Wall Street Journal.

美國財政部在一份聲明中說，美國造幣廠已經完成了最後一分錢，並將結束硬幣的生產，並首次由《華爾街日報》報導。

This puts the onus on businesses to either round up or round down to the nearest 5 cents.

這使企業的責任構成或舍入至最近的5美分。

President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama have been two of the more prominent proponents of ending production of the penny.

唐納德·特朗普總統和前總統巴拉克·奧巴馬（Barack Obama）是結束一分錢生產的最傑出的支持者之一。

According to the U.S. Mint, the current cost of making one penny is 3.69 cents.

根據美國造幣廠的說法，當前賺錢的成本為3.69美分。

The AP reported earlier this year that the penny is the most popular coin made by the U.S. Mint, which reported making 3.2 billion the previous year.

美聯社在今年早些時候報導說，一分錢是美國造幣廠最受歡迎的硬幣，該硬幣在上一年報告了32億。

In February, ABC News reported that Trump said on his Truth Social platform that he had directed the Treasury Department to stop minting new pennies, calling them "wasteful."

2月，美國廣播公司（ABC）新聞報導說，特朗普在他的真相社會平台上說，他指示財政部停止鑄造新的便士，稱他們為“浪費”。

Speaking to the New York Times earlier this year, Obama called the penny "a good metaphor” for some of the problems of the U.S. government.

奧巴馬在今年早些時候在《紐約時報》上發表講話時，為美國政府的某些問題稱一分錢是“一個好隱喻”。

“It’s very hard to get rid of things that don’t work,” he said.

他說：“很難擺脫行不通的東西。”

Obama has previously cited Americans’ nostalgic attachment to the penny, which is actually made of mostly zinc and one of the first coins minted in the U.S., as one of the reasons it remained in circulation.

奧巴馬此前曾列舉過美國人對一分錢的懷舊依戀，實際上它主要由鋅製成，也是美國第一批鑄造的硬幣之一，這是它流通的原因之一。

“It’s one of those things where people get attached emotionally to the way things have been,” the former president said in 2013. “Those of us of a certain age…we remember our piggy banks, counting up all our pennies, taking them in and getting a couple of dollars for them. Anytime we’re spending more money on something that people don't actually use, that’s an example of something we should probably change.”

前總統在2013年說：“這是人們在情感上依附的事情之一。我們當中那些年齡的人……我們記得我們的小豬銀行，計算我們所有的便士，把它們帶進來並為他們買了幾美元。任何時候我們都會花更多的錢，我們實際上不使用某些人，這是一個示例，我們可能會改變。”我們可能會改變。 ”
