U.S. Treasurer tells me there are more than 300 billion pennies in circulation. He says we use about 9 billion pennies each year. At that rate we would run out of pennies in about 33 years. This video shows the last pennies ever minted . #Penny #USMint225

Goodbye, penny. 👋 The U.S. Mint says it is stopping the production of pennies, a historic move more than two centuries after the one-cent coin entered circulation.
The last penny was stamped at the Philadelphia U.S. Mint during an event on Nov. 12. http://yhoo.it/43rxNJ6

Higher metal prices result in higher production costs. If production costs get too high, the seigniorage – the difference between a coin’s face value and the cost of putting it into circulation – make the coin worth less than what it costs to make it.
