While everyone was busy watching the Super Bowl, President Donald Trump decided to make the penny a thing of the past.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump announced he was ordering a stoppage of production of the copper one-cent coin:

New pennies wouldn't be minted, but old ones would remain in circulation.
