RIP: Penny

 


The United States minted its last Penny yesterday (November 12, 2025.)

The Penny was first minted in 1793 and has been used for 232 years.

The Penny will remain in circulation, but  every Business that accepts cash will have to either round up or round down when the Pennies become hard to get.

There are an estimated $300 Billion Pennies in circulation.

Canada got rid of its Penny in 2012.

Australia got rid of its Penny in 1991.

New Zealand got rid of its 1 Penny and 2 Cent Coins in 1990 and its 5 Cents in 2006.
