U.S. Pennies

I know this a long shot especially living in Germany but since America has stopped issuing pennies (1 cent). I would like to complete my set. I am still missing a few wheat pennies and need 2023, 24 and 25. Other American and German coins too but this would a swap started. If anyone would be interested please let me know. Thanks

The U.S. has not stopped issuing 1 cent coins. It's just something that's on trump's wish list.

pennies are still minting?

According to the U.S. mint, 242,400,000 one cent coins have been produced so far in 2025.

I thought the bill was signed to stop production

No, so far there has just been talks. And the talks have been going for decades already.

Don't confuse a bill (law passed by both houses of congress) with a musing by the President. The Federal Reserve dictates how many coins are produced each year. The Federal Reserve reports to Congress, not the President.

Thank god. I love the penny and I don’t want to see it go

Well, either way, I am still looking for pennies to add to my collection. I have an American post office box so it stays in the American mail.

I got some 23 and 24 pennies, but I’m still looking for a 2025 one myself

I have a bunch of cents, but I need to check through them. Can’t even remember if I’ve added them in my collection on Numista. I’ll have a look later (if I‘ll remember…)

thanks for reminding me 😆

this is what I have:

I also have this cent for whatever reason. Can’t remember where I got it, but it’s in a set:

Let me know if any of them are of interest by any chance. I’m not really interested in US coins, so I’m not very well versed in them 😁

That's an Uncirculated Mint Set (actually ½ of one) typically MS60 coins.

I wonder why it's only half 😆

Each set comes with Philadelphia minted coins and Denver minted coins.

Ahhh, I see, so I only have the Philadelphia ones… Oh well 😌

Don't feel bad. There's somebody that only has the Denver ones.
