A debate exists within the United States government and American society at large over whether the one-cent coin, the penny, should be eliminated as a unit of currency in the United States. The penny costs more to produce than the one cent it is worth, meaning the seigniorage is negative – the government loses money on every penny that is created. Several bills introduced in the U.S. Congress would have ceased production of pennies, but none have been approved. Such bills would leave the five-cent coin, or nickel, as the lowest-value coin minted in the United States.

  • Den amerikanska "pennydebatten" är debatten om huruvida det amerikanska encentsmyntet, pennyn, skall avskaffas som penningenhet i USA eller inte. på 2000-talet har två lagförslag lagts fram i Kongressen, vilka skulle ha avskaffat myntet som penningenhet om de antagits, men inget av dem antogs. I debatten har ett flertal argument både för och emot myntets avskaffande lyfts. (sv)
