Stop the penny push faces long road to Congress
The drive to end penny production after President Trump’s call hinges on Congress, with past lawmakers like Ford and McCain proposing suspensions or bans. The Mint’s costs exceed face value, shipping billions of pennies yearly, while critics warn of history and charity linked to the coin. Greene County workers and local leaders warn of job impact if pennies vanish, and legal questions about presidential power vs Congress persist.
