The purpose of this legislation, known as the Modernize and Improve our National Tender Act of 2025, is to update the composition of the 5-cent coin and to eliminate the production of the one-cent coin. The goal is to make coin production more efficient and cost-effective while ensuring that existing one-cent coins remain valid for transactions. Key provisions of this law include allowing for a new composition of the 5-cent coin, which can now be made with a different blend of metals, specifically zinc and nickel.
