Nov. 12, 2025, 1:14 PM EST / Updated Nov. 12, 2025, 2:15 PM ESTBy Corky SiemaszkoThe penny dropped.The U.S. Mint struck the final 1-cent coin that will be used as legal tender on Wednesday, six months after the Trump administration announced that it would stop producing pennies because the cost of making them is almost four times more than they’re worth.From now on, the only new pennies the Mint releases will be collector versions that aren’t currency and will be produced “in limited quantities,” the agency said in a statement. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Treasurer Brandon Beach were at the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia when the coin press punched out the historic final penny, the agency confirmed.There are still an estimated 250 billion pennies in circulation, the American Bankers Association said in October.But back in February, President Donald Trump said it made no fiscal sense to keep producing cents.“For far too long the United States has minted pennies which literally cost us more than 2 cents,” Trump wrote in an online post. “This is so wasteful! I have instructed my Secretary of the U.S. Treasury to stop producing new pennies.”Officially known as the cent, the first penny was struck in 1787 and had a sundial design that was dreamt up by Benjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers.The U.S. Mint took over penny production in 1793, a year after Congress passed the Coinage Act.Like its predecessor, this penny was also made of copper. But it was slightly bigger and came to be known as the “Flowing Hair” cent because it had a woman representing liberty on one side and 15 chain links on the other side.It wasn’t until 1909 that the woman was replaced by President Abraham Lincoln in profile to mark what would have been his 100th birthday.The Mint said that ending penny production will save taxpayers about $56 million annually. And it will continue to be legal tender for as long as its around.That said, the penny is not worth much. You can’t even buy penny candy, which made its debut in 1896, with just a penny.But its cultural value is incalculable.Stingy people still “pinch pennies.” An unexpected windfall is still referred to as “pennies from heaven.” And a fiscal planner who is “penny wise and pound foolish” should be avoided.But after Wednesday, the penny once saved and cherished will be the penny spurned, rather than earned.Corky SiemaszkoCorky Siemaszko is a senior reporter for NBC News Digital.

The train made an unscheduled stop as emergency services responded, according to British Transport Police and social media footage from the scene.Cambridgeshire Police, which patrols the area, arrested two people at the scene in connection with the incident, authorities said. “Within eight minutes of a 999 call being made, two men were in police custody,” Loveless added.An East of England Ambulance Service spokesperson said it scrambled numerous ambulances, tactical commanders, a hazardous response team, and two helicopters to transport “multiple patients” to Addenbrooke’s Hospital.A large police presence remained at Huntingdon on Sunday morning, with many roads closed around the station. Forensic tents were up with officers in white overalls spotted in the car park, while the train where the stabbings took place was still parked on the platform.British Defence Secretary John Healey told Sky News earlier on Sunday that the nation’s threat level is unchanged, adding that it remains “substantial,” which means a future terror attack is considered “likely.”U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the attack as “appalling” and “deeply concerning,” expressing sympathy for those affected and gratitude to the emergency workers who responded so quickly.He has previously called knife crime a “national crisis.” The number of offences involving a knife across England and Wales has risen overall since 2011, according to government statistics, though it is 4.5% lower over the past year than in 2019/20.Data from the National Health Service in England shows there were 3,500 cases recorded in hospitals in 2024/25 due to assault by a sharp object, a 10.4% decrease compared to the previous year.King Charles and Queen Camilla said they were “shocked” following the attack, and paid tribute to the emergency response.“Our deepest sympathy and thoughts are with all those affected, and their loved ones,” the King wrote in a statement Sunday. The violence on Saturday prompted widespread disruption across the rail network. London North Eastern Railway (LNER) issued a “Do Not Travel” alert for the affected line on Saturday, and while some lines reopened Sunday, the company warned that further cancellations and delays were likely.In an update early Sunday, LNER Managing Director David Horne said staff were “shocked and saddened” by the attack and praised emergency services for their swift response. British Transport Police said the train was the 6:25 p.m. GMT (2:25 p.m. ET) service from Doncaster in the North of England to London King’s Cross. Huntingdon is about 77 miles north of London.Freddie ClaytonFreddie Clayton is a freelance journalist based in London. Dennis Romero and Jamie Gray contributed.
