密苏里州雷莫尔 - 星期五是全国幸运的一分钱日，但一分钱的未来并不是那么幸运

美国财政部周四确认，它下令了最后一轮便士。之后用完了，他们将不再出现

The U.S. Treasury has confirmed that it has ordered its last round of pennies, spelling bad news for those who prefer not to see the copper coin disappear.

美国财政部已经确认，它已经下令了最后一轮便士，这对那些不希望看到铜硬币消失的人拼写了坏消息。

After the Trump administration announced in February that it would halt the production of the one-cent coins, which is estimated to save the government $56 million, the Treasury announced Thursday that it has placed its last order for pennies with the U.S. Mint.

在特朗普政府在2月宣布将停止生产单美分硬币（据估计将为政府节省5600万美元）的生产后，财政部周四宣布，它已与美国造币厂下达了最后一分钱的订单。

After that runs out, they will no longer be in production, but they can still be used for purchases.

在此之后，它们将不再出现生产，但仍可以用于购买。

With 114 billion pennies in production, the coin is far from rare. Pennies are the most commonly collected coin, said Rick Raines of Raines Rare Coins LLC. But Raines has not seen an increase in demand for pennies since the announcement that production will stop.

该硬币的生产中有140亿美元，远非罕见。 Raines Rare Coins LLC的里克·雷恩斯（Rick Raines）说，便士是最常见的硬币。但是，自从宣布生产将停止以来，Raines并没有看到对便士的需求增加。

“There’s still way too many pennies for the collectors’ base to collect,” Raines said.

雷恩斯说：“收藏家的基础仍然有太多便士收集。”

But one penny has been hard to come by: the 2025 penny.

但是一分钱很难得到：2025 Penny。

“Everybody found out that the production is stopped, so everybody ran into the banks and started buying them. So, we’ve got collectors looking for those and I don’t even have any at the shop right now.”

“每个人都发现生产已经停止，所以每个人都遇到了银行并开始购买它们。因此，我们有收藏家正在寻找这些，我现在什至在商店里没有任何东西。”

After 1982, pennies began to be made mostly of zinc with a copper plating, making them worth more for their metal content. Pennies made before 1982 are worth about 3 cents a piece.

1982年后，便士开始主要由锌镀铜制成，使它们的金属含量更高。 1982年之前制造的便士价值约3美分。

Although you can sell them to a coin shop, you can’t melt them down. Since pennies are still legal tender, it’s a felony to melt them for profit.

尽管您可以将它们卖给硬币店，但您不能将它们融化。由于便士仍然是法定招标，因此将其融化是为了获利的重罪。

“If they do away with the penny, or the cent, I don’t know if they’ll approve it to be melted, they probably will.”

“如果他们取消一分钱或百分之一，我不知道他们是否会批准它融化，他们可能会。”
