57% Informative
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told to stop minting one-cent coins.
US President Donald Trump said the move was a cost-cutting measure.
Canada ditched its one cent coin in 2012 citing the cost of minting it and its falling purchasing power.
Critics say the coin is a waste of money and resources but supporters say it keeps prices lower.
