A New Penny to Celebrate
President Donald Trump ordered the end of circulating penny production late last year to save taxpayers an estimated $56 million annually. However, a special "dual-date" penny has returned exclusively for America’s 250th anniversary. You won't find these in everyday cash transactions. These are a one-year-only design upgrade. (The only other time the U.S. has done this on such a widespread scale was during the 1976 bicentennial.)
