財政部表示，計劃停止製造一分錢，呼籲時間是美國政府鑄造的第一批硬幣之一。

聯邦機構本月為Penny Blanks下達了最終訂單，美國造幣廠計劃結束一分錢的製造業。

The Treasury Department is planning to stop making the penny, putting an end to production of one of the first coins minted by the U.S. government.

財政部正計劃停止賺錢，結束了美國政府鑄造的第一批硬幣之一的生產。

The federal agency placed its final order for penny blanks this month, and the United States Mint will cease manufacturing of the 1-cent coin when that runs out, a Treasury official said. The blanks — flat, metal discs that the Mint turns into coins — will run out in early 2026, according to the Wall Street Journal, which first reported the news.

一位財政部官員說，聯邦機構本月為Penny Blanks下達了最終訂單，美國造幣廠將停止製造1美分的硬幣。據《華爾街日報》報導，毛坯 - 薄荷變成硬幣的扁平金屬光盤將耗盡。

The penny, which dates from the early days of the U.S. Mint after its establishment in 1792, now costs more to manufacture than the coin is worth. The 1-cent coin cost about 3.7 cents to manufacture and distribute in 2024, according to the U.S. Mint's 2024 annual report.

一分錢是從1792年成立後的美國造幣廠早期，現在的製造成本高於硬幣的價值。根據美國造幣廠的2024年年度報告，該1美分的硬幣在2024年的製造和分銷約為3.7美分。

Ending production of the penny will save the Mint about $56 million in annual savings, the Treasury said on Thursday.

財政部周四表示，結束一分錢的產量將節省大約5600萬美元的年度儲蓄。

Despite their coppery look, pennies are mostly made of zinc, with their distinctive appearance coming from a copper overlay. Zinc's cost per metric ton is more than double what it was in 2000, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

儘管外觀銅，便士還是由鋅製成的，其獨特的外觀來自銅覆蓋。根據聖路易斯聯邦儲備銀行的數據，鋅的每公噸成本是2000年的兩倍以上。

The Trump administration had recently signaled it was out to stop making the 1-cent coin, with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency saying in January that the penny was too costly to produce. In February, President Trump said he had directed the Treasury to stop minting new pennies, citing the rising production costs.

特朗普政府最近表示，它將停止製作1美分的硬幣，埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）的政府效率在一月份表示，一分錢太昂貴了。 2月，特朗普總統說，他已指示財政部以不斷上漲的生產成本，以停止鑄造新的便士。

"For far too long the United States has minted pennies which literally cost us more than 2 cents. This is so wasteful!" Mr. Trump wrote in a February post on his Truth Social site. "I have instructed my Secretary of the US Treasury to stop producing new pennies."

“很久以來，美國已經鑄造了幾分錢，這實際上使我們花費了2美分。這太浪費了！”特朗普先生在2月份的《真相社交網站》上寫道。 “我指示我的美國財政部長停止生產新的便士。”

Previous presidential administrations have also scrutinized the penny due to the rising cost of production, with former Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew pushing the idea in 2015.

由於生產成本的上升，前總統政府也仔細檢查了一分錢，而前財政部長雅各布·列夫（Jacob Lew）在2015年推動了這一想法。
