財政部表示，計劃停止生產一分錢 - 因為製造硬幣的成本幾乎是其價值的四倍。

美國造幣廠製作了最終的一分錢空白訂單，並表示計劃一旦耗盡，這可能會在2026年初停止生產。

The U.S. Treasury Department announced Thursday that it plans to halt the production of pennies as the cost to make the coin has increased by over 20 percent in 2024.

美國財政部周四宣布，它計劃停止生產，因為製造硬幣的成本在2024年增長了20％以上。

The Treasury plans to stop producing the penny – as the cost to create the coin is nearly four times its worth.

財政部計劃停止生產一分錢 - 因為製造硬幣的成本幾乎是其價值的四倍。

The U.S. mint made its final order of penny blanks and said it plans to halt the production of pennies once those run out, which will likely be in early 2026, according to The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the news.

據《華爾街日報》報導，美國造幣廠製作了最終的一分錢空白訂單，並表示計劃一旦耗盡，這可能會在2026年初停止生產。

In stopping the production of pennies, the Treasury expects an immediate annual savings of $56 million in reduced material costs, the Treasury said Thursday. While the penny is only worth a cent, the coin costs nearly 4 cents to create.

財政部周四表示，在製止便士的產量時，財政部預計每年將每年節省5600萬美元的材料成本。雖然一分錢只有一分錢，但硬幣要花近4美分才能創造。

New pennies will stop going into circulation by early next year. After production stops, Americans will still be able to use pennies in cash transactions, however, businesses will have to adjust prices.

新的便士將在明年年初停止流通。生產停止後，美國人仍將能夠在現金交易中使用便士，但是，企業將不得不調整價格。

With the change, businesses will either be able to round prices up or down to the nearest 5 cents to allow cash transactions to take place.

隨著變化，企業將能夠將價格上漲或下降到最近的5美分，以允許現金交易進行。

The announcement comes as President Donald Trump said he would cease production of the coin.

宣布是因為唐納德·特朗普總統表示，他將停止生產硬幣。

“For far too long the United States has minted pennies which literally cost us more than 2 cents. This is so wasteful!” Trump previously wrote 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！”特朗普以前在他的真相社交網站上寫道。 “我已經指示我的美國財政部長停止生產新的便士。”

There are currently about 114 billion pennies currently in circulation, though they have become a less common coin to use.

目前目前有大約1,140億美元的流通，儘管它們已成為不太常見的硬幣。
