Chairperson:
SHORT TITLE: A BILL RECOMMENDING TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES TO IMPLEMENT A TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON THE PRODUCTION OF THE ONE-CENT PIECE (ALSO REFERRED TO AS THE PENNY)
Whereas, It costs 1.83 cents to manufacture a single penny as of 2014. The United States
Mint estimates that the current number of pennies in circulation in the country is about 140,000,000. Therefore, it is a sizable cost to the government; and,
Whereas, As of 2013, the manufacture of the penny added $55,000,000 to the national
debt. As the national debt increases, the government increases taxes; and,
Whereas, In the past, the US government has refrained from removing the penny from the
monetary system because they are unsure of how completely removing the
penny from the US Monetary System would affect the economy; and,
Whereas, Temporarily discontinuing the production of the penny will immediately cut the
costs of production, removing that particular burden from the national debt, and as a result, will reduce the burden of the taxpaying citizens of the United States.
Whereas, A decrease in the availability of the penny will result in an increase in its value.
Whereas, The implementation of a temporary moratorium on the production of the penny allows for a timeline of decision to determine the economic implications of the action and the appropriate response.
SECTION I. BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED BY THE 2014 STUDENT CONGRESS THAT THE
CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES
2. implement a temporary moratorium on the production of the one-cent piece.
SECTION II. This act will be implemented and administered immediately upon passage by the
2. United States Mint.
