Pennies will now be made of steel, not zinc-copper alloy — we can’t call US Mint dumb anymore

By Alvin Chang

Right now, it costs 1.7 cents to make a penny and 10 cents to make a nickel.

I’m no expert, but that’s… dumb.

Luckily, the House voted to change this a few days ago. Now our pennies will be made of steel — yay.
