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

The U.S. Mint will officially cease production of the penny after 234 years, following a Senate bill sent to President Trump. The legislation supports the administration's decision to stop minting the one-cent coin, which has become increasingly costly to produce. The penny, first minted in 1792, costs nearly four cents to make, leading to an expected annual savings of $56 million. The bill, known as the Common Cents Act, was backed by bipartisan representatives. Although production will end, pennies will remain in circulation, and stores will have new procedures for rounding transactions.
