President Trump's recent order to halt penny production has raised concerns among penny collectors and machine operators who utilize pennies for creating stamped designs. Although the U.S. Mint continues to produce pennies, the future of this niche market hinges on whether the penny will remain in circulation. Historically, pennies have transitioned from copper to zinc, affecting their usability for crafts. Collectors, like jeweler Angelo Rosato, emphasize the cultural and sentimental value of pennies, advocating for their continued production despite the economic arguments against them.

We're big fans of the penny. Keep the changes coming from Washington, but leave the penny alone.
