Pennies cost more than they’re worth to manufacture. They won’t completely get rid of pennies (at least not for another 50+ years)

oh are y’all getting rid of pennies too? Canada did and it didn’t feel like a big deal

it’s funny bc i don’t think i’ve handed someone a penny ever in my whole career. so many places are cash change only already

ok period so it’s genuinely not a big deal (yet) lmao. i also keep reading that places will start rounding up their prices so that they end in 5. that would also be over 50 years away?? (sorry im trying to make sense of all this lolll)

Most likely! The penny is still very common so it’s not like they’ll be phased out overnight :)
