How Trump might get rid of the penny — and what could come next for your pocket change

Proponents of the penny argue that efforts should focus on reducing the cost of producing nickels, which cost about 13.8 cents to mint. Previous congressional attempts to eliminate the penny have failed, and any changes to minting practices would likely involve legislative action.
