State has a penny for your thoughts
https://www.universalhub.com/2026/state-has-penny-your-thoughts -
I had my first encounter with a retail #PennyPolicy today. I don't think these are going to go over very well... at all!
A regional coffee shop chain no longer takes - or gives - #pennies as #cash at the register. Each customer's total bill, after taxes, is rounded to the nearest #nickle.
If the last digit comes out to less than 3 #cents , they round down to zero. If it comes out as 3 or more cents, it gets ronded up a notch.
Paying by #card? They charge you the 'correctly calculated' total.

Without #pennies, should #retailers round up or down? States offer their #2cents.

#Pennies are being canceled and the #USMint won't make any more. What does that mean?

Ready for another duo in Hebrew that has entirely different meaning based on the syllable that is stressed?
To say, they are DIVORCED, we use the Hebrew word /g-roo-'sheem/, in Hebrew with no Nikkud we write it ××Ø×ש××, and we stress the last syllable in that word.
To say that something is super inexpensive, it barely costs anything, it costs "pennies", native Israelis say /g-'roo-shem/, stressing the second to last syllable. Now, this is not just a random word. It is the plural form of the/g-'roosh/, an old "penny" currency that was used in the region.
If you're new around here, welcome! And make sure to hop on board and start using my game-changing phonetic system (PSP) that allows you to read, write, and say every word in Hebrew correctly, like a true Israeli.
Comment the word EMAIL if you are not on my mailing list yet to get weekly lessons like this and so much more.

A transformation in cyanotype.
It begins as a very simple origami box with a couple of coins in it.
And end up as an abstract geometric image.
A memory of it's brief time as a coin box, written there in blue and white.
