Death of the Penny

[amalekidad]

I stumbled upon this from December 15, 2019 It's titled The Death of the Penny – US Mint to Cease Penny Production in 2022
https://cashmoneylife.com/us-mint-cease-penny-production/
"The US Mint announced this morning that they will phase out the production of new pennies beginning in late 2021, and mint the last batch of pennies on April 1, 2022." ... "Starting in late 2021, the US Government will begin a penny reclamation campaign." ...

Please! Confirm or Deny.....
I must say, I'm a bit disappointed that I found this. Most of y'all are much better at keeping up on what's happening than me.

"$$$ And if you haven’t figured it out by now – Happy April Fools Day! " A few days late - I told you, I'm slow.

April first joke.

I'll give up my pennies when they peel my cold, dead fingers... or something like that.

Treasury has made no such announcement. Article is either speculating, or is fake.

Time for more coffee.
