No More Pennies: Cash Rounding Made Simple

Experience a smoother checkout – find out how our new cash rounding policy benefits you.

The U.S. Mint announced earlier this year that it would stop producing pennies, which has led to a national shortage in stores. To help out, we have been asking shoppers to pay with exact change or use a card when they can.

Starting on or about December 8th, if you pay with cash and don’t have the exact amount, we’ll round your change to the nearest nickel. This only affects cash payments; if you pay with a card, EBT, gift card, or exact change, nothing changes.

How rounding works:

• Ends in 1₵ or 2₵ → round down to 0
• Ends in 3₵ or 4₵ → round up to 5₵
• Ends in 6₵ or 7₵ → round down to 5₵
• Ends in 8₵ or 9₵ → round up to 10₵
• Amounts ending in 0 or 5 are not rounded.
