The U.S. Mint won’t produce pennies anymore, but they won’t vanish overnight.

They remain legal tender, and there could be close to 300 billion of them in circulation, Treasurer Brandon Beach said.
So long, penny. The Treasury has officially stopped producing one-cent coins.
The U.S. Mint struck its final run of one-cent coins Wednesday, ending almost 230 years of near-continuous penny production.

This is extremely excellent news. The potential would be global changing life saving.
If this bears out this is perhaps the biggest health innovation since mRNA vaccines which like lol how crazy. This science interrupted the biological production of antibiotic producing mold and isolated an early molecule in the compound. That rules.
