For younger readers, yes, there was a time when a penny had actual value. Nowadays, a penny is so worthless that it costs more to make one, 2.06 cents, than it’s worth. That cost taxpayers $85 MILLION in 2022. But it appears now that the penny’s run has finally come to an end. The last batch was reportedly produced in April of this year, and no more will be minted.
As for the nickel, each one of them costs 7.53 cents to produce but there are no current plans to cease their production.

The funniest part of this is that someone wrote a check for 10 cents.

This one is funny but, maybe a little dated
