No more pennies will be minted

[Missourian]

the system changed with it and nothing is priced at the 1/2 cent price anymore,,

donnt think making everything in dollar increments is going to happen

From what I read rounding will actually benefit consumers by a tiny amount. So things won't be more expensive AND the government saves taxpayers $110 million.

110M, that should buy some new toilet seats in congress...

Dollar coins. Cheaper overall than $1 bills due to the MUCH longer life in circulation. (20+ years versus 6-10 months.)

I opposed this for a long time... but today's dollar is essentially a quarter from 25 years ago.

25 years ago a loaf of Walmart bread was a quarter. Today its a dollar twenty.

We'll likely continue to stave this off for the rest of our lifetime...or mine at least.

But I suspect it will happen eventually.

That's not going to happen for the very reason you state. Cash is freedom. That doesn't mean we have to be stupid and wasteful.

Yes. I respect money. But only if head's up. Otherwise I flip it over.

Trump is not eliminating the penny, he simply will no longer produce new ones. There is a significant difference.

That is nothing but a deflection from the topic.

No it isn’t. Inflation has already made the penny worthless.

do yo think the retailer and tax man will round up or down to offset??

the core debate is can HE just do that legally?

we have billions of penny's in circulation so if we stopped in 2025 we would not run out for 30 years

I could see the mint making special proof coins for collectors like they do

I have not bought one for age but I do have full proof sets of all our coins

retailers will round up for their favor most likely
