Decizie istorică: Congresul SUA votează încetarea producției monedei de un cent după 234 de ani

The U.S. Senate has passed a bill to officially end the production of the one-cent coin, which has been in circulation for 234 years. This decision follows the Mint's cessation of production in 2025 due to rising costs and declining usage. The bill, supported by bipartisan representatives, aims to save taxpayers money, as producing a penny costs nearly four cents. Although the production will stop, pennies will still be usable in transactions. The legislation also introduces new rounding procedures for retailers as pennies are phased out.
