The U.S.
Mint is saying that this is going to be a savings of $56 million a year.
So they cost like more than three cents to make one cent.
So they are literally penny pinching, I guess is what's happening.

Do you want to hear the other reason?
The reason we got rid of the penny is because people pay for everything with credit cards and phone payments and whatever now.
Probably not.
And I'll tell you why.
Yes.
It's a medal.
It's not going anywhere.
I can guarantee that I will actually become an 85-year-old woman and pennies will still be in circulation.
Yeah.
Okay.
Hopefully I make it that.
Erica, thank you so much.
