The United States discontinuing the production of the 1 cent coin intensifies the operational pressure on retailers.

A recent report in the US retail industry stated that there is a shortage of change and difficulty in making change after the US stopped minting 1 cent coins, which has brought complexity to the sales points and tax compliance of chain enterprises such as Walmart and McDonald's. Previously, US President Trump ordered the Treasury Department to stop minting new 1 cent coins on February 10th, as the cost of minting each coin had reached 3.7 cents, far exceeding its face value.
