Listen "A cent-imental farewell: Federal government ends production of the penny"
Episode Synopsis
They say a penny saved is a penny earned, and that's exactly what the federal government is trying to do by ending production of the one-cent piece. The very last ones were pressed on Wednesday at the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia. After more than 230 years of production, President Donald Trump decided that the 4-cent cost per penny was too much to continue making them. (Photo by Matthew Hatcher/Getty Images)
