On November 12, 2025, the United States (US) Mint made its final penny at the Philadelphia facility, ending more than 230 years of production.

By 2024, each penny cost nearly four cents to make. This resulted in substantial annual losses for the Mint.

piper179달In generations to come people won't even know what a penny is!!!!
ilovehenrydsaf9달I disagree. I mean, unless they remove them from history books, too. Like.. We know about the fall of rome, so why wouldnt people know that pennies existed? Historians wouldn't let this slide.
looper9달let's make a tribute to the penny! ALL HAIL THE PENNY!!
i_love_god9달This is so sad these penny's were apart of our life we needed them!!!! WHY😭😭- ilovehenrydsaf8달Well, to be fair, it costed four pennies to make a single penny, so they were paying four times the price of the coin to make it. Even though its disappointing, its still an understandable choice of action.
