Currently, pennies in the United States are no longer produced for everyday circulation, as the Mint halted regular production due to rising production costs. The coin still exists as a denomination, but new 2025 pennies were not intended for general use, and the industry widely notes it has become a historical or collector item rather than daily change. For most practical purposes, the face value remains one cent, while the cost to produce each coin has exceeded its value, leading to ongoing discussions and policy proposals about ending penny production. Key points to know:

• Face value: 1 cent (USD) per penny.
• Production status: Regular production halted; pennies may still be minted under special circumstances or for numismatic purposes in limited forms, depending on policy and mint operations.
• Practical implication: For everyday transactions, cash rounding or alternative denominations are often discussed in policy circles, though the penny continues to exist as legal tender to the extent of legal frameworks in force.

If you’d like, I can tailor this to a specific country, or provide a concise summary of the policy timeline and current legal tender status in the United States, along with how this affects pricing, vending, and coin circulation.
