RIP The Penny

The Treasury Department announced that they will soon discontinue manufacturing new pennies. They will do so as soon as the existing supply of penny blanks is exhausted. In 2024, 3.2 billion pennies were minted. Pennies will still be legal tender as long as they remain in circulation.
