Penny Gone? What Other Coins Have Disappeared Over Time?
A penny for your thoughts on the demise of the U.S. penny or rather on saying ta-ta to the one cent coin, its official name!
It’s a sudden, but not unexpected ending. After being part of our currency for 230 years, the last penny was minted on November 12, 2025 in Philadelphia because of production costs. While I understand that it doesn’t make sense (he-he) to mint coins that cost more than their value, I’m a little sad to see the end of the U.S. one cent coin.
