财政部表示，计划停止生产一分钱 - 因为制造硬币的成本几乎是其价值的四倍。

美国造币厂制作了最终的一分钱空白订单，并表示计划一旦耗尽，这可能会在2026年初停止生产。

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.

美国财政部周四宣布，它计划停止生产，因为制造硬币的成本在2024年增长了20％以上。

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

财政部计划停止生产一分钱 - 因为制造硬币的成本几乎是其价值的四倍。

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.

据《华尔街日报》报道，美国造币厂制作了最终的一分钱空白订单，并表示计划一旦耗尽，这可能会在2026年初停止生产。

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.

财政部周四表示，在制止便士的产量时，财政部预计每年将每年节省5600万美元的材料成本。虽然一分钱只有一分钱，但硬币要花近4美分才能创造。

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.

新的便士将在明年年初停止流通。生产停止后，美国人仍将能够在现金交易中使用便士，但是，企业将不得不调整价格。

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.

随着变化，企业将能够将价格上涨或下降到最近的5美分，以允许现金交易进行。

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

宣布是因为唐纳德·特朗普总统表示，他将停止生产硬币。

“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！”特朗普以前在他的真相社交网站上写道。 “我已经指示我的美国财政部长停止生产新的便士。”

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

目前目前有大约1,140亿美元的流通，尽管它们已成为不太常见的硬币。
