Posts - Bill - HR 1401 Currency Optimization, Innovation, and National Savings Act of 2025
house 02/18/2025 - 119th Congress
We're introducing legislation to halt the production of new pennies for a decade, as current supplies are sufficient and continued minting costs taxpayers more than the coins' value. This move aims to optimize currency production while still meeting the needs of collectors through limited minting under specific conditions.

The penny might be dropping, but so should more taxes!
