at my coin to coin to hunt and the hunt ended quickly


Say what now?

If you are trying to say you went to the bank and got a solid box of uncirculated 2025 cents then I would definitely hold onto them.

I think I have a box of 2016 laying around from the last time that happened to me.

The other times that I got them I used the box as payment to the local dealer at our coin club who sold members bullion silver eagles for $2 or $3 over spot.

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.

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"?
Sounds right to me.

I asked Google "has the mint stopped making pennies"

Here are the answers:
AI Overview
"No, the U.S. Mint is not currently stopped making pennies. While President Trump has instructed the Treasury to halt production, and Congress has considered bills to discontinue the penny, the U.S. Mint continues to produce them."
AI Overview
"No, they are not still making pennies in 2025. President Trump announced in February 2025 that he had ordered the Treasury Department to halt production of the penny, citing the high cost of production exceeding the coin's value. "
