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 voted to end production of the US penny, bringing an end to 234 years of one-cent coin minting and sending the bill to President Trump, who must sign or veto it. Supporters have long argued the penny costs more to make than it is worth, while critics see the end of an iconic piece of American currency.
Why now: The phase-out of a coin Americans have used for over two centuries is a historic and politically charged change awaiting the President's decision.
