The U.S. has stopped printing its most humble currency, the penny. After more than 230 years, the U.S. Mint ended production because it cost nearly four cents to make the one cent coin. And while most of us keep our spare pennies in junk drawers or maybe collecting dust in jars, coin collectors are holding them close.
Joining Minnesota Now to talk about the history of the penny and what’s next now that it’s not printing is Jason Jenkins. He is part of the Red River Valley Coin Club in the Fargo-Moorhead area.
