With the U.S. set to stop penny production by early 2026, join Professor Robert Whaples for a timely look at the history of the penny and why its elimination makes economic sense. From rising production costs to legislative updates, this session will break down the key reasons behind the move and why it’s long overdue. A Professor of Economics at Wake Forest University, Whaples is a leading voice on economic history and has written and edited numerous books and journals in the field.
