Trump says he has directed Treasury to stop minting new pennies, citing cost

Washington (APP) – President Donald Trump He says he has directed the Treasury Department to stop releasing new money, citing the cost of producing one percent coin.

“For a long time, the United States has had intercourse with money, which literally costs more than 2 cents,” he said. It’s very useless! “Trump wrote in a post on Sunday night on his social site.” I have instructed his US Treasury secretary to stop preparing for new money. “

Trump’s new administration has rapidly focused on reducing costs, targeting the entire agencies and dismissing large parts of the federal manpower.

He wrote, “Let’s cut the garbage from the budget of our great nations, even if it is a penny at a time.”

Trump sent a message after attending the first half of the Super Bowl in New Orleans.
