Question

As of 2015, how many U.S. cents does it cost to make a penny?

Answer 1

In 2014, the cost of production of one penny coin was 1.7 pennies. It was similar in 2015, around 1.67.

So we see that producing the pennies is actually more than their values. Because of this some countries, such as Finland, decide not to use Pennies anymore!
