Pennies going extinct in 2025 refers to the ongoing debate and speculation surrounding the potential elimination of the one-cent coin, also known as the penny, from circulation in the United States.
The discussion about phasing out the penny has gained traction in recent years due to several factors, including its low purchasing power, the high cost of production compared to its face value, and environmental concerns related to its copper content. Proponents of eliminating the penny argue that it has become largely obsolete in an increasingly cashless society and that its removal would result in cost savings and reduced environmental impact.
