With the penny now out of production, many people are wondering whether those copper coins sitting in jars and drawers could soon be worth more than face value.
"Most pennies are going to stay right around where they are, not worth a whole heck of a lot," Sutton said. "But there will be collectors who come out for this. They'll realize these aren't going to be around and they'll get some interest."
According to the U.S. Mint, it costs 3.69 cents to produce a single penny. A nickel? 13.78 cents. A dime costs 5.76 cents, and a quarter costs 14.68 cents to make.
"I'm keeping mine at home," said Bryce Folrek. "I have a change drawer by my door and by my bedroom."
"I had a lot of pennies I've saved for years and I wanted to see how much they're worth," said Diane Newman.
"If we're going to get rid of anything, it'll be the nickel next," Sutton added.
For now, pennies will still be accepted as currency. But with production halted, each one you hold onto is officially a tiny piece of American history.
