Details About How Much Does a Penny Cost to Make:
Ben Franklin created and unveiled the penny in 1793. Over time, its value has decreased; a penny’s worth 100 years ago was only 17 cents now. The US produced 6.3 billion pennies in 2022, valued at 63 million dollars. The problem is that the US lost more than 63 million dollars in the process, and many people would prefer to see pennies eliminated because their labor and material costs come to 2.1 cents each.
