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

随着政府计划明年停止使用美国货币，美国便士将开始缓慢淡出淡出的淡出。

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.

根据《华尔街日报》的一份报告，美国财政部宣布了一项计划，计划在2026年初之前停止将新的便士流通，这标志着一份已成为美国货币已有200多年一部分的单美分硬币的结局。

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，硬币的可用性下降，最终将没有足够的硬币进行现金交易。

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.

美国财政部在一份声明中说，美国造币厂已经完成了最后一分钱，并将结束硬币的生产，并首次由《华尔街日报》报道。

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

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

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.

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，美国广播公司（ABC）新闻报道说，特朗普在他的真相社会平台上说，他指示财政部停止铸造新的便士，称他们为“浪费”。

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.

奥巴马在今年早些时候在《纽约时报》上发表讲话时，为美国政府的某些问题称一分钱是“一个好隐喻”。

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

他说：“很难摆脱行不通的东西。”

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.

奥巴马此前曾列举过美国人对一分钱的怀旧依恋，实际上它主要由锌制成，也是美国第一批铸造的硬币之一，这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.”

前总统在2013年说：“这是人们在情感上依附的事情之一。我们当中那些年龄的人……我们记得我们的小猪银行，计算我们所有的便士，把它们带进来并为他们买了几美元。任何时候我们都会花更多的钱，我们实际上不使用某些人，这是一个示例，我们可能会改变。”我们可能会改变。”
