The mint has been directed to stop making them. They cost about 3 cents each to make.

They’ve cost more than a cent for many years.
Thank you, Mr. Trump

Something like 3 billion of them were minted last year, and they've been minting multi-billions of them for years. Crazy.

They also said it costs 14.3cents to make a nickel. How is that?

I am going to start stockpiling pennies. Maybe in about 100 years they will be worth something.

I am going to start stockpiling pennies. Maybe in about 100 years they will be worth something. I have been stock piling them for years. My hoard just increased in value if they stop making them. Same for nickels, dimes, and quarters. 🙌
Jeremiah 7:28 KJV
But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the Lord their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
Galatians 4 : 16
Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

before 81 they were mostly made from copper so they might be worth something one day if we do away with them completely

I will not mind them being gone., They won't be gone unless people start hoarding them. There are countless billions already in circulation.
