Congress votes to end penny production after 234 years
Original: Congress votes to end production of the penny after 234 years, sending a bill to Trump
Congress has approved legislation ending production of the US penny, drawing the 234-year run of the one-cent coin to a close. The bill now heads to President Trump, whose signature would make the measure law. The move ends a coin long criticized for costing more to make than it is worth, and debate is turning to what the change means for cash transactions and prices.
Why now: The end of a coin in circulation since the nation's founding is a historic change to everyday US currency now awaiting the president's decision.
