Today the last penny was created...

The Last Penny Minted in the US

I wonder if people who have saved pennys over the years will someday be rich lol.

I have a 1/2 of a large jar full of pennys

Yeah I have a bunch here as well.

They said on the radio that there's an estimated 250 billion, maybe more, in circulation. I wonder what the effect would be if people hoarding them put them back into circulation tomorrow. What kind of difference would that make?

If you plan on holding on to pennies for potential value save the pennies minted in 2025, the last time they’re minted. Also, Pennie’s from 1982 and earlier will be more valuable as those pennies were all copper.

Apparently some 2025 pennies got released with an omega symbol on them so keep an eye out for one of those.

Stopped at Jubilee today after Hubby’s Dr. apt. for some white chocolate raspberry coffee creamer. They were out but I did get two cafe mocha creamers. Used self checkout and a sign said that price would be rounded up due to penny shortage. So $5.98 became $6.00. That doesn’t seem right, change your product prices to end in 5. Instead of rounding up try rounding the price down. $2.99 to $2.95.

All of this “winning” sure is awesome!

They could do that but then they would be losing out. If you needed the creamer I could have picked up for you. Jubilee's overall stock has been seriously lacking

The solution is simply change the prices to end in 5 or 10. But keep in mind there’s no way in hell they’re going to round down.

I think they’re under new management? I’ve seen a couple social media posts advising that they’ve gotten new deliveries so maybe they’re trying to find the right ordering schedule?

Yeah it is new management but this is not the first time shelves have been empty in there. Even the "fresh frozen" baked good racks are pretty sparse

I heard that he has not sold Jubilee yet. The story they are telling is that it is a distributor issue. Dave is a great guy & always ran the place really well, so I doubt he isn't paying his bills. Maybe he is hesitant to buy a lot if he is in the middle of a sale.
