Show Notes
Kings County, California, is phasing out pennies from cash transactions starting March 1st. Departments like the tax collector, community development, public works, and probation will no longer provide pennies as change. This move comes after the U.S. Mint and Federal Reserve stopped producing and supplying new pennies. Cash payers must now pay exact amounts, while online, phone, check, debit, credit card, and money order options remain unaffected. Neighboring counties are preparing for penny shortages, with some considering rounding to the nearest nickel. State leaders have introduced a bill that could allow counties to round cash transactions soon.
