The purpose of stopping the production of pennies outweighs the reasons to keep the pennies. The pennies cost 2.4 cents just to be minted. The usage of pennies wastes actual time. The pennies cause safety hazards to small children and are not even accepted by all machines, vendors, and shops.

Why are 2007 pennies worth than 2006 pennies?

2007 pennies are generally worth more than 2006 pennies primarily due to the production of fewer coins and the changes in minting processes.

Additionally, the value of coins can fluctuate based on collector demand and the condition of the pennies, making certain years more desirable. Collectors often seek out specific years for their rarity or unique features, impacting their market value.
