U.S. Mint

Congress has approved a bill to end production of the US penny, sending the measure to President Trump to sign into law. If enacted, the US Mint would stop striking one-cent coins, which cost more to make than they are worth. The move follows long-running debate over the penny's expense and declining use in everyday cash transactions.

The U.S. Mint is pairing its coin-making tradition with comic book art, according to a report by Game Informer. The piece asks what happens when the two styles collide, pointing to new coin designs that draw on comic book aesthetics. Details about which artists or specific coins are involved remain limited, but the crossover has caught the attention of art and coin collectors alike.
