RE: One Cent Coins are Expected to Stop Entering Circulation Early Next Year

"The decision to stop minting the penny marks a crossroads between tradition and modern economic realities. While it may seem like a minor change, it carries deeper implications about how our financial tools are evolving in the digital age and under economic pressure. As a coin collector, I feel a bit nostalgic, but I also recognize the logic behind this move given the rising production costs. This could be a unique opportunity for collectors to revisit what they have — and perhaps a sign that more changes are coming for other coins like the nickel. What’s happening to the penny today might be just the beginning."
