Extra: Change Is Hard. What Lies Ahead For A Post-Penny America

from The Fox News Rundown · host FOX News Radio

After more than 230 years, the U.S. Mint has officially ended penny production early this month. The decision is seen as a money-saver, as the cost of making coins exceeds their value. However, phasing out the penny won’t be easy, and retailers will have to figure out how to make change as fewer are in circulation. Philip Diehl, former U.S. Mint Director and President of U.S. Money Reserve, recently joined FOX News host Chris Foster to discuss the impact of the penny’s demise and what other coins could be next. He also lays out ways businesses may need to handle pricing and calculating sales tax. He also discusses the future of American money, and the nickel and the dollar could also see changes.
