  1. While looking for something else last night I found these silver pennies. I can't remember how I coated them or when. It's either a nickel or silver anodizing. Probably too much free time at work around 12-15 years ago when we were playing with silver. Kinda interesting looking.

  10. Well it seems that Panda Express has changed their policy. They kept my pennies again today (side dish) and I asked to speak to the manager, hoping to make my point that they're keeping two cents when she scolded me for keeping one.
    But it was a different manager, who said they'd give me a nickel back, shortchanging themselves three cents!
    I thanked her profusely and said what a nice change in policy this is. Not expecting it to be consistent, but we'll see.

  15. 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.

    There are 114 BILLION pennies still in circulation. Two stores in midtown are already rounding. At least Big Apple is using "symmetrical rounding" or "Canadian based rounding" which sometimes benefits the drawer, sometimes the customer.
    This will be illegal March 20, 2026 when a NY state law goes into effect, prohibiting those paying cash from paying a penalty.

  32. Have you all run into retailers who no longer use pennies? If so, how do they round, and is it handled by the cash register or does the cashier have to do it on the fly?

    I thought that they obviously would round to the nearest 5 and program the cash register to do it, but I've run into two retailers who round irregularly and seem to be rounding up.

    It may depend on whether they have pennies that day. Apparently there's been penny shortage even before the mint decided to stop making them. And there is no clear guidance from the government, though GA has issued a document.

  33. I have absolutely no inclination to spend pennies, now that they are no longer being minted. Instead I'm going to save them all.
