美國參議院28日晚間以口頭表決通過,正式為長達234年歷史的1美分硬幣生產劃下句點。

美國造幣局已於2025年停止製造1美分硬幣(penny),而參議院28日晚間以口頭表決通過一項法案,並已送交美國總統川普簽署。這項法案將正式為長達234年歷史的1美分硬幣生產劃下句點。

《ABC NEWS》報導,該法案指示政府不再製造1美分硬幣,為川普政府去年停止生產該貨幣的決定提供法律認可。1美分硬幣是造幣局於1792年成立後首批製造的硬幣之一,隨著數位交易日益普及,其生產成本不斷攀升,使用率也持續下降。

預計川普將會簽署該法案。他去年曾於社交媒體發文指出,美國生產1美分硬幣的時間「實在太長了」。

造幣局指出,目前製造1美分硬幣的成本將近4美分,停止生產將可每年立即節省5600萬美元的開支。

目前1美分硬幣仍維持流通,正式停止生產並不意味著消費者或店家無法繼續使用。造幣局表示,其在2024年共製造了32億枚1美分硬幣。

隨著1美分硬幣逐步淘汰,該法案概述了店家的新應對程序,允許商家將現金交易金額四捨五入或採無條件捨去/進位至最接近的5美分(nickel)。

由於1美分硬幣流通量日益減少,零售商此前大力推動該法案,以消除因無法精準找零而面臨訴訟的威脅。

零售商團體聯盟今年早前在致眾議院領袖的信中寫道:「全美各地的企業都面臨著流通中缺乏1美分硬幣所帶來的連鎖影響,在無法提供精確找零時,如何在現金交易中處理找零問題,始終處於不確定狀態。」

此外,該法案還允許政府在製造5美分硬幣時使用鋅作為內層,隨著1美分硬幣淘汰,5美分硬幣的流通量可能會增加。目前5美分硬幣是由鎳與銅合製而成,其成本比鋅更為昂貴。
