财政部表示，计划停止制造一分钱，呼吁时间是美国政府铸造的第一批硬币之一。

联邦机构本月为Penny Blanks下达了最终订单，美国造币厂计划结束一分钱的制造业。

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.

财政部正计划停止赚钱，结束了美国政府铸造的第一批硬币之一的生产。

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.

一位财政部官员说，联邦机构本月为Penny Blanks下达了最终订单，美国造币厂将停止制造1美分的硬币。据《华尔街日报》报道，毛坯 - 薄荷变成硬币的扁平金属光盘将耗尽。

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.

一分钱是从1792年成立后的美国造币厂早期，现在的制造成本高于硬币的价值。根据美国造币厂的2024年年度报告，该1美分的硬币在2024年的制造和分销约为3.7美分。

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

财政部周四表示，结束一分钱的产量将节省大约5600万美元的年度储蓄。

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.

尽管外观铜，便士还是由锌制成的，其独特的外观来自铜覆盖。根据圣路易斯联邦储备银行的数据，锌的每公吨成本是2000年的两倍以上。

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，它将停止制作1美分的硬币，埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）的政府效率在一月份表示，一分钱太昂贵了。 2月，特朗普总统说，他已指示财政部以不断上涨的生产成本，以停止铸造新的便士。

"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."

“很久以来，美国已经铸造了几分钱，这实际上使我们花费了2美分。这太浪费了！”特朗普先生在2月份的《真相社交网站》上写道。 “我指示我的美国财政部长停止生产新的便士。”

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.

由于生产成本的上升，前总统政府也仔细检查了一分钱，而前财政部长雅各布·列夫（Jacob Lew）在2015年推动了这一想法。
