美国明特考虑停止生产硬币, 引发了对其经济影响的辩论。 The U.S. Mint considers halting penny production, prompting debate on its economic impact.

美国明特公司正在考虑停止生产一分钱,尽管每分钱要花费大约三分钱。 The U.S. Mint is considering stopping penny production, despite each penny costing about three cents to make. 虽然硬币仍将是法定货币,但对企业可能四舍五入价格的关切仍然存在。 While pennies will remain legal tender, concerns exist about potential price rounding by businesses. 然而,像俄克拉荷马第一银行首席执行官汤姆·本内特这样的专家认为,通货膨胀等更广泛的经济因素对消费价格的影响大于零钱的损失。 However, experts like Tom Bennett, CEO of First Oklahoma Bank, argue that broader economic factors, such as inflation, have a greater impact on consumer prices than the loss of pennies would.
