Are You Buying Boxes Of Pennies, Cents Now That They Stopped Making Them?

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).

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.

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'
