No more pennies

[Shawn]

How do you feel about halt of penny manufacturing?

I think it will hurt local businesses. Now you’ll have to have exact change. No one carries exact change.

More people will shop online now and local business will suffer. In return, that will hinder the local economy and impact everyone.

Dumb move imo.

I'm fine with it, I always seem to have a ton of pennies. Also since it costs more to make pennies than what they cover, this will be better in the long run.

But can businesses still get pennies from the bank?

No, they must now round up or down to the nearest nickel. Other countries do this I believe, and they seem to get by.

We just have to get used to the change. No pun intended LOL

True, the only crime is the loss of coin terms, like pinching pennies.

I'll be hoarding my pennies, though. That might become gold at some point LOL
