America is about to toss the penny. Dedicated coin collectors will never doubt its value.
The U.S. Treasury announced last month it will sunset the modern penny, known as the “Lincoln cent,” citing the four cents it costs to produce a single coin. It has been in circulation since 1909, to mark the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth, and is the longest-running coin series in U.S. history.
