Hi all,
With the recent directives from the federal gov't about stopping cent production, I'm wondering if anyone's found a 2025 cent or seen one yet? I'm not sure when the Mint begins production of that year's coins (for all I know they're still striking 2024s).
But if this cessation of production holds, it's possible a 2025 cent could become a modern scarcer date.

I do not expect to see any until the uncirculated and proof mint sets get delivered—assuming they still have cents in them!  To all, good luck on the hunt!  |

Lol it's tempting to start placing orders to try and get lucky and get a box of these. This reminds me of the hysteria around the 2009 penny and nickels.

I wouldn't go too crazy quite yet. Seems like there's a pattern of saying one thing and doing another.
Or we simply do what Canada, Australia, NZ and a few other countries have done since the 1990s and abolish the penny - but that still doesn't create a shortage of the currency. Heck, the 242M already minted isn't a small number.
Our money isn't tied to a standard and is really a currency token. Humanity likes to simplify things so this tends to "help" us forget that even if it costs 3 cents to mint a new cent, that cent will remain in circulation for decades and as such has a longer-term value.
As for the potential collector craze? I've been hoarding copper cents for a few years since it's so incredibly inexpensive to do so. If that bumps up the value of what I have, I'll sell them and buy an egg or two.
