为什么您可能有一天会告诉您的孙子孙女

我们曾经骑自行车去当地的杂货店，并用一分钱的糖果装满小棕色袋子，每甜糖。我搬走并回到家探访后的某个时候，我得知他们已经用一分钱的糖果去了。多么粗鲁！

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

你能想象吗？有一天，您可能坐在前廊的摇杆上，告诉您的孙子们。

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.

便士的问题在于，生产一个比价值的百分比要多。政府在每一分钱创造的每一分钱上都亏损。

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》的帖子讲了一个故事，其中有7个理由摆脱便士。自动售货机不想要它们。哎呀，人们将他们留在下一个人的收银机。

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.

大多数人都完全摆脱了货币 - 当我写这篇文章时，我可以听到妈妈在我的脑海中称其为“奇怪”。我最喜欢的帖子列出的原因是，没有人会忘记林肯总统，因为毕竟他仍然在5美元的账单上。

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

辛西娅·卢米斯（Cynthia Lummis）提出立法，以中止一分钱的生产并为纳税人省钱

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

参议员辛西娅·卢米斯（Cynthia Lummis）对逻辑的论点息息相关，即美国花了三美分来制作一分钱。

“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.”

参议员卢米斯说：“现在是时候完全结束了一分钱的生产并省下了美国纳税人的钱。” “通过暂停其生产，我们可以减少政府支出，简化交易并朝着更实用的金融体系转向。是时候投资于21世纪经济的未来，这是从暂停生产的一分钱开始了。”

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.

参议员卢米斯（Lummis）与参议员柯斯滕·吉利布兰（Kirsten Gillibrand）（D-NY），代表丽莎·麦克莱恩（Lisa McClain）（R-MI）和代表罗伯特·加西亚（Robert Garcia）（D-CA）介绍了《共同的美分法》，《两党立法》，以正式暂停生产一分钱。
