President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he has instructed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to halt the production of pennies, citing the high cost of producing one cent.

A New York magazine report added, "Like so many other things Trump has said or tried to do since retaking office, it's not clear if he can legally [order the Treasury to stop making pennies]. It would probably require an act of Congress to fully discontinue the coin, since Congress dictates America's currency specifications. But as with so many other things, Trump may just try to do it anyway."
