Someone who lives in Philadelphia should visit the mint and do the tour. They might see if any one cent coins are being minted.
I do find it fascinating that an executive order was issued but nobody knows if anything has happened as a result!

I love the banter about pennies. I too am wondering if the production has indeed stopped (fingers crossed). Even if production for circulation has stopped, it will not stop them from being put into proof and mint sets. Especially for the 2026 set, which I anxiously await.

No. I am just buying the clad proof set, possibly the silver one and mint sets. I am only buying the clad proof set as the mintage and product number are equal putting into question if other proof set prodcuts of circulating and NIFC coinage will have the same coins (e.g. will the proof penny NOT appear in anything else but the clad proof set? Not clear right now and not a strong likelihood but it is odd the mintage and product limits are the same = about 400,000).

To be clear, uncirculated mint set coins are not the same as the ones struck for circulation. They are minted separately at slower speeds with higher strike pressure. If they stopped minting pennies for circulation, the ones for the annual sets would/could/should still be minted as per usual.

Call it "penny" or "cent", who cares? "penny" has a much better "ring" to it than "cent". Did they stop making "pennies" yet? |

I picked up a penny box at my coin to coin to hunt and the hunt ended quickly as it was 2025 rolls.

I hope for the collector community that penny's remain being minted for collectors in sets ect after they stop being minted for circulation.
Up here in Canada our mints did a full stop - when they could have continued making them for sets - which in my opinion would have added more value/uniqueness to the sets.

America has Never minted a Penny, America is thinking about eliminating the Lincoln Cent. Why do the large majority of coin collectors use the term "penny" even though it's historically inaccurate? I think it's because it's more fun to say than "cent." And who has ever heard of "cent candy"? |

when I hold, see, or talk about about a single Lincoln coin - I call it a penny (look I found a 'penny')
But when I'm referring to multiple Lincoln coins, I say 'Cents' If I had 60 of such coins - I say I that I have 6 'cents'
