  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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. “The United States government has stopped minting #pennies, but we can still have fun with them!”

  5. They should still be minting #pennies because a MEMO from the pedophile in the Oval Office has no power to change our currency

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

  7. So. Are you now hoarding all of your pennies since they are out of production and will soon be worth as much as the copper in them?

  8. Caity Weaver, a fine writer, expounds on pennies, lately for The Atlantic and previously (both times entertainingly) for The New York Times.

  9. 📣 ABC News: Today is the *last* day the U.S. Mint will issue new pennies! Because the 1¢ coin costs 4¢ to make. 🤦‍♂️

  10. Cuz when you’re a #billionaire, who cares about pinching #pennies?

    #US #penny production ends

    Pennies are drying up faster than retailers anticipated following Trump's decision earlier this year to halt production of the one-cent coin. #Retail groups…are frustrated by the lack of guidance from the #Trump admin & lawmakers, forcing them to round down to avoid angering customers & violating laws in some states—potentially costing high-volume businesses significant #money.
