Episode description

President Trump has instructed the U.S. Treasury to halt the minting of new pennies as part of an effort to cut down on what he called wasteful government spending. So how would a world without pennies look? Wall Street Journal reporters Oyin Adedoyin and Joseph Pisani join host Ariana Aspuru to discuss how the move could impact consumers and why one man has been lobbying to save the penny for the past three decades.   Sign up for the WSJ's free Markets A.M. newsletter.   Learn more about your ad choices.
