<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim-P, post: 26069397, member: 118020&quot;]Certainly the administration has plenty of staffers that research the authority before any announcement gets made.&nbsp; Some pertinent information I found where Congress has legislated rules about minting is in Title 31 of United States Code Sections 5111 and 5112.&nbsp; It says &quot;The Secretary of the Treasury shall mint and issue coins... in the amounts the Secretary decides are necessary to meet the needs of the United States&quot; and &quot;The Secretary of the Treasury may mint and issue... a one cent coin...&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t come across any Sections that say the mint must produce cents.&nbsp; So if the President orders his Secretary of the Treasury to stop producing cents in an Executive Order, either the Secretary does it or gets fired.</p><p><br /></p><p>So it looks like bye-bye US one-cent coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
