The final pennies are marked with the Omega symbol (Credit: US Mint)

On November 12, 2025, the United States (US) Mint made its final penny at the Philadelphia facility, ending more than 230 years of production. This landmark moment closed an era that began with the first cent in 1793 and continued through the Lincoln cent in use today. The decision to halt production was driven primarily by cost. By 2024, each penny cost nearly four cents to make. This resulted in substantial annual losses for the Mint.

            I think I have one from 1943. I wonder if I should see how much I can sell it for;)

                I really liked this article, and I am using it for a school current event. I hope a descendant of mine hundreds of years from now will still be able to find and hold a penny. I also liked how Homer Simpson was in the video. I love The Simpsons.
