The U.S. Treasury has ordered its last batch of "blanks" that it uses to form pennies.

The last of the new pennies will enter circulation early next year .

Ultimately, it will mean that supply will dry up and businesses will be pressed into rounding prices to the nearest nickel.

President Donald Trump has called for ending penny production, calling it "so wasteful".
