為什麼您可能有一天會告訴您的孫子孫女

我們曾經騎自行車去當地的雜貨店，並用一分錢的糖果裝滿小棕色袋子，每甜糖。我搬走並回到家探訪後的某個時候，我得知他們已經用一分錢的糖果去了。多麼粗魯！

Can you imagine? One day you might be sitting in your rocker on the front porch telling your grandkids about pennies.

你能想像嗎？有一天，您可能坐在前廊的搖桿上，告訴您的孫子們。

We used to bike down to the local grocery store and fill up little brown bags with penny candies, one cent per sweet. Sometime after I moved away and went back home to visit I learned they'd done away with the penny candies. How rude!

The problem with pennies is that it costs more to produce one than the one cent that its worth. The government loses money on every penny created.

便士的問題在於，生產一個比價值的百分比要多。政府在每一分錢創造的每一分錢上都虧損。

In 2018 the Saturday Evening Post ran a story with 7 Reasons to Get Rid of the Penny. Vending machines don't want them. Heck, people leave them at the cash register for the next guy.

在2018年，《星期六晚上》的帖子講了一個故事，其中有7個理由擺脫便士。自動售貨機不想要它們。哎呀，人們將他們留在下一個人的收銀機。

Most people are moving away from currency altogether -- I can hear my mother calling it "icky" in my head as I write this. My favorite reason the Post listed is that nobody's going to forget President Lincoln, because he's still on the $5 bill after all.

大多數人都完全擺脫了貨幣 - 當我寫這篇文章時，我可以聽到媽媽在我的腦海中稱其為“奇怪”。我最喜歡的帖子列出的原因是，沒有人會忘記林肯總統，因為畢竟他仍然在5美元的賬單上。

Cynthia Lummis Introduces Legislation to Suspend Production of Penny and Save Taxpayers Money

辛西婭·盧米斯（Cynthia Lummis）提出立法，以中止一分錢的生產並為納稅人省錢

Senator Cynthia Lummis is resting her argument on the logic that it costs the U.S. three cents to make a one cent coin.

參議員辛西婭·盧米斯（Cynthia Lummis）對邏輯的論點息息相關，即美國花了三美分來製作一分錢。

“The time has come to fully end the production of the penny and save American taxpayers money,” Senator Lummis said. “By suspending its production, we can reduce government spending, streamline transactions, and move toward a more practical financial system. It’s time to invest in a future that works for the 21st century economy, and that starts with suspending production of the penny.”

參議員盧米斯說：“現在是時候完全結束了一分錢的生產並省下了美國納稅人的錢。” “通過暫停其生產，我們可以減少政府支出，簡化交易並朝著更實用的金融體系轉向。是時候投資於21世紀經濟的未來，這是從暫停生產的一分錢開始了。”

Senator Lummis, along with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Representative Lisa McClain (R-MI), and Representative Robert Garcia (D-CA), introduced the Common Cents Act, bipartisan legislation to officially suspend production of the penny.

參議員盧米斯（Lummis）與參議員柯斯滕·吉利布蘭（Kirsten Gillibrand）（D-NY），代表麗莎·麥克萊恩（Lisa McClain）（R-MI）和代表羅伯特·加西亞（Robert Garcia）（D-CA）介紹了《共同的美分法》，《兩黨立法》，以正式暫停生產一分錢。
