Bad news for me

So what happens to America’s 114 billion pennies once the US stops making them? 

The US Treasury Department announced Thursday that it plans to start winding down production of the one-cent coin it has been minting for more than 230 years. But the penny will still remain legal tender, and will still be in use at thousands of retailers around the country for sometime to come.

I was hoping that giant bowl of pennies on my chest of drawers would suddenly become more valuable. Like rare coins. Actually be worth something. 

But no.
