Today, we’re diving into a headline that’s been circulating more and more lately: the phase-out of the United States penny.

It’s a small coin with a big history—but also a growing cost. So today, we’ll break down why the penny may be on its way out, what that means for you as a consumer, and the simple things you can start thinking about now to prepare.

00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:34.799
Welcome afternoon, Michiganders, and welcome back to Tuesday with Tom

2
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:39.039
Michigan's Only podcast, where we talk about estate planning, a

3
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:43.119
state settlement, and everything in between. As always, I'm your tope,

4
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:49.000
I'm your host, Tom Doyle, estate planning attorney, lifelong Michigander,

5
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:53.920
and your guide to planning for your future.

6
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:54.640
Well, just a.

7
00:00:54.600 --> 00:01:00.719
Brief recap last episode. Don't rely on services like Trust

8
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:05.719
and Will or Legal Zoom for your estate plan. If

9
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:09.079
you're thinking about using one of those services or similar

10
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:14.040
service online where you can order your state plan, please

11
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:21.400
please listen to this important episode where I explain how

12
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:27.439
those services actually work and why we do not recommend

13
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:34.040
that you use one. Today's show, well, we're kind of

14
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.000
cut topic that you probably wouldn't expect me to be

15
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:40.599
talking about today, but it's in the news. So today

16
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.359
I'm going to spend a little time talking about depending

17
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:49.159
phase out of the US penny. But please remember what

18
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.640
I'm about to discuss is meant to be educational and informative.

19
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:55.920
It is not legal advice.

20
00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:00.200
Every person's situation is different, so be sure to talk

21
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:02.959
to your own attorney in this case, perhaps your banker

22
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:07.439
financial advisor to figure out what makes the most sense

23
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:23.520
for you and your estate plan. The pending phase out

24
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:27.960
of the US penny. Well, if you've been listening to

25
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:34.520
the news recently, you would know that, in fact, the

26
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:37.400
US Mint has stopped.

27
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:42.280
Making the United States penny.

28
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:45.800
Well, it's a small coin, but it's got a big

29
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:50.159
history and it's got a growing cost. So today we're

30
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:54.240
going to break down why the penny is on its

31
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:57.800
way out, what that means to you as a consumer,

32
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:01.879
in the simple things that you can and do starting

33
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:08.199
now in thinking and preparing for that to happen. So first,

34
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:13.599
why is the penny being phased out? Well, for years,

35
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:19.680
economists and policymakers have pointed out that the penny actually

36
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:24.400
cost more to make than it's worth. According to the

37
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:29.639
US Mint, currently it is now costing three point six

38
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:34.479
y nine cents to mint a single penny, which means

39
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:41.680
obviously the US loses millions of dollars annually simply keeping

40
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:47.639
the penny in circulation. On top of that, quite frankly,

41
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:52.240
pennies are rarely used in everyday transaction. Ask yourself, how

42
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:56.919
frequently do you actually use a penny or do you

43
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:01.319
simply take them home and p apps in your money

44
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:04.240
jar or maybe they're going to end up in the

45
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:09.560
bottom of your car's cup holder. So they're rarely used

46
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:13.719
in everyday transactions, and they can create inefficiencies at tax

47
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:18.279
at cash interested it takes obviously time for someone to

48
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:22.240
count out those penalties pennies during the daytime to make

49
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:23.199
change and at.

50
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.480
The end of the day and other countries.

51
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.879
Think about other countries, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand all

52
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:36.480
phased out their lowest denomination coins years ago without any

53
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:43.839
major disruption. So the US is headed towards the same conversion.

54
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:48.160
So what will the phase out actually look at. Well,

55
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:52.120
the key thing to understand is that eliminating the penny

56
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:56.639
does not mean prices will suddenly jump. A lot of

57
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.000
people are concerned about, well, if there's not a penny,

58
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:02.600
prices are going to have to jump. Well, here's how

59
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:08.279
it typically works based upon other countries and what is

60
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:14.279
expected to happen in the US model. So first, as

61
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:23.040
already noted, pennedies, pennies have stopped being produced now, retailers, banks,

62
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:33.040
the public can still use them, but they will gradually disappear. Second,

63
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:38.879
cash transactions are going to be rounded. That doesn't mean

64
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:46.199
prices don't change, but only the final total after tax

65
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:50.800
is going to be rounded to the nearest nickel. So

66
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:57.160
when you're spending cash for your transaction, after the final

67
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:02.040
total is calculated, that total is going to be rounded

68
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:09.839
to the nearest nickel. However, electronic payments, cards, phones, online

69
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:12.920
purchases are going to remain.

70
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:15.000
Exact to a cent.

71
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:21.399
So if you're going to be spending cash, your final

72
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:24.079
number will be rounded to the nearest nickel, But if

73
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:28.720
you're going to be paying with some electronic payment, it

74
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:33.759
is going to be still at the exact penny. Now

75
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:41.879
rounding is neutral, what will happen is that totals ending

76
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:47.160
in one to two cents will be rounded down, while

77
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.560
totals ending in three to four cents will be rounded

78
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:58.040
up again, basically going down or up to the nearest nickel. Actually,

79
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:02.079
when this occurred in Canada, studies show that the overall

80
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:08.480
impact on consumers was almost zero. But what does this

81
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:14.319
mean for you as a consumer. Well, again, for most people,

82
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:19.000
the impact is going to be minimal. But here's what

83
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:22.800
you can expect. One there's going to be less loose

84
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:29.120
change clutting your life without the penny. Change becomes simpler

85
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:35.199
and quicker. You're also going to find a push towards

86
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:42.439
digital payments. Many people already prefer to pay and will

87
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:49.720
continue to prefer to pay electronically to avoid rounding all together.

88
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:55.199
You will also likely see changes that cash registers.

89
00:07:55.360 --> 00:08:01.360
Cashiers will be rounding your final total up or down,

90
00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:06.160
and some of those businesses might even publish a rounding chart.

91
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:11.680
But again, just remember what I already stated is at

92
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.120
a total ending in one to two that would be

93
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.160
rounded down, a total ending in three to four.

94
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:21.120
Would be rounded up.

95
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:29.560
You might also find that charities may adjust donation campaigns,

96
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:34.600
maybe penny drives, which, as some charities have done in

97
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:42.360
the past, will shift now towards nickel or dollar based models. Well,

98
00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:47.240
what should you do to prepare now? It's already happening,

99
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:51.840
So here are some simple practical steps that you could

100
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:59.039
consider taking now. One, either start using or rolling your pennies.

101
00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:03.000
If you have jars full of them, good chance to

102
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:06.519
roll them, take them to your bank or your credit

103
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:11.480
union and convert them into usable funds.

104
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:13.120
Well.

105
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:17.919
Another, obviously, don't panic because they will still be accepted

106
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.600
at banks even after the phase out begins. It's expected

107
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.600
that banks will accept them for years, So it's not

108
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:29.720
like you have to rush out right now today, roll

109
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:32.840
all of your pennies, run to the bank and change

110
00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:36.480
them in or catch them in because they've stopped producing

111
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:37.200
the pennies.

112
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:39.120
But there will be a period of.

113
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:43.799
Time that banks will continue to accept them before they

114
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:50.679
stop accepting pennies at all. You might consider donating your pennies.

115
00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:55.120
Many charities out there are going to gladly accept your

116
00:09:55.440 --> 00:10:02.320
rolled or loose coins. And don't assume you'll be cheated

117
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:06.000
by rounding. It doesn't necessarily you're going to be cheated.

118
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:11.639
Countries that eliminated their lowest coin really saw almost no

119
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:18.320
consumer disadvantage. Also, pay attention to how you pay. If

120
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:24.399
rounding bothers, you then use a card, or use an

121
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:28.519
Apple pay, or use an electronic payment, and your totals

122
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:32.240
are going to remain exactly the same because they are

123
00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:38.240
not going to be rounded. Ultimately, though, the debate over

124
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:42.080
the penny is about whether or not sentiment and tradition

125
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.960
outweigh cost and practicality. While the penny has been part

126
00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:52.559
of the US currency since seventeen ninety three, the realities

127
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:59.360
of today's economy make its retirement inevitable for consumers. Thoh,

128
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:06.080
the impact should be minimal, even smooth, especially if you

129
00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:12.600
start doing things now with the pennies that you have

130
00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:27.840
already accumulated. Well, before we wrap up, though, I thought

131
00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:31.480
it might be fun to take a quick detour and

132
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:37.240
look at some of the interesting trivia about pennies. Some

133
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:40.559
things you might not know, but we'll definitely enjoy hearing,

134
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:44.480
and it might one day help you on some trivia

135
00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:50.320
question if you're ever being in a trivia game and

136
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:53.440
the question about pennies come up. So let's jump into

137
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:59.519
today's fun fact segment. Well, fun fact one, A penny

138
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:01.759
used to go a long way. Well, when the first

139
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:06.799
US penny was minted way back in seventeen ninety three,

140
00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:12.000
it actually had the same buying power as about thirty

141
00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:20.600
cents today, a single penny could buy basic goods, which

142
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:24.279
is a far cry from its value today, where most

143
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:28.000
of us won't even pick one up off the sidewalk.

144
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:28.600
I know I do.

145
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:30.799
If I see it on the sidewalk or I see

146
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.519
it through a parking lot, I will pick that penny up.

147
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:35.919
I normally take it home, put it in my money jar.

148
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:39.399
Now when I pick those up, I'll obviously be cashing

149
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.240
them in, hopefully sooner rather than later at a bank.

150
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:48.759
Fun Fact two, the penny has actually had more makeovers

151
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:53.840
than any other US coin over the years. The penny

152
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:59.799
has actually undergone eleven different design changes, which are more

153
00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:04.559
than any other coin in US history. That would be

154
00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:09.919
from Liberty themed designs to the Lincoln Memorial. It has

155
00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:16.240
had quite the facelift over time. Fun Fact number three.

156
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:19.000
Pennies aren't really copper anymore. I know we think about

157
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:24.080
them as being copper, but despite their classic color, today's

158
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:31.240
penny is actually ninety seven point five percent zinc coated

159
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:34.600
with a thin layer of copy and copper. And that

160
00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:39.799
switch happened in nineteen eighty two when copper got too

161
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:44.200
expensive for the mint to use, so they switched made

162
00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:47.879
the penny mostly of zinc with a coding of copper

163
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:53.759
as a way of saving cost in producing the penny.

164
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:55.360
Fun Fact four.

165
00:13:57.080 --> 00:13:59.639
This probably won't surprise you to learn, though, that a

166
00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:05.039
mayor Perkins hoard pennies buy the billions.

167
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:07.720
That's with a B. It's estimated that.

168
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:13.799
Over seven billion dollars worth of pennies are simply sitting

169
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:22.120
in jars, drawers, glove compartments all across America. Most pennies,

170
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:28.080
in fact, never get recirculated. They just vanish into our

171
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:36.519
household change black holes. Fun Fact five the penny, and

172
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:39.840
I mentioned this earlier, though the penny actually cost more

173
00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:47.519
than it's worth. It costs more to produce one penny

174
00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:51.039
now than the one penny is worth.

175
00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:51.559
And if you.

176
00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:58.799
Multiply that that three point six number that it's costing

177
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:05.399
to produce penny today, and you multiply that times the

178
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:08.840
number of pennies, that three point sixty nine number, and

179
00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:16.799
you multiply that times the number of pennies, billions of coins,

180
00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:21.919
billions of coins, and taxpayers end up footing the bill

181
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:30.759
for currency that we seldom use. Fun Fact number six.

182
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:35.919
Other countries ditched their pennies long ago. Canada eliminated its

183
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:40.480
penny in twenty thirteen, Australia stopped minting theirs in nineteen

184
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:44.399
ninety two. New Zealand did the same in nineteen eighty nine,

185
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:51.480
all of them transitioning smoothly with simple rounding rules, and

186
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:59.960
their consumers adjusted almost immediately. Fun Fact number seven nineteen

187
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:04.960
teen forty three steel penny well during World War Two

188
00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:11.360
copper because it was needed for ammunition. The mint because

189
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:17.679
of that issued pennies made from zinc coated steel. You

190
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:19.919
might have seen some of those from back at that time.

191
00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:25.879
They looked silver, felt lightweight, and quite frankly, today they's

192
00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:32.720
simply a popular collector's item. Fun Fact number eight. Lincoln

193
00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:36.360
made history on the penny. When Abraham Lincoln's image was

194
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:39.840
added to the penny in nineteen oh nine, he became

195
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:46.399
the first real historical figure to appear on US currency.

196
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:49.919
Fun Fact number nine.

197
00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:54.080
You might ask yourself, is it legal to melt pennies

198
00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:59.600
and to use the copper if you will in that

199
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.399
from that process. Well, even though the metals can be

200
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:08.400
worth more than a cent, US law in fact prohibits

201
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:13.160
melting pennies and nickels for scrap value. So no, you

202
00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:18.079
can't start a black market copper operation from your coin jars.

203
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:21.240
So forget about that. If that was something that you

204
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:30.640
had been thinking about. Fun Fact number ten. Pennies are

205
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:37.519
actually heavier than you might think. A single penny weighs

206
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:41.200
two point five grams. Well, if you have a jar

207
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:48.119
of one thousand pennies, that's over five point five pounds

208
00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:53.720
of metal. And again multiply that by the millions of

209
00:17:53.799 --> 00:18:00.759
household and you start seeing why billions of pennies disappear

210
00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:05.759
from circulation. Well, that that's going to wrap up this

211
00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:10.799
week's fun facts insert. The penny may be small, but its.

212
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:13.319
History is anything but.

213
00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:18.240
So I guess let's just get back to the rest

214
00:18:18.240 --> 00:19:12.359
of the show. Well, today's program, Well, we've talked about pennies. Obviously,

215
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:16.400
the show is really about estate playing a state settlement.

216
00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:20.480
So remember amand and I would be honored to help

217
00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:24.039
you protect the people you love, whether that means creating

218
00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:28.519
a new estate plan, updating existing one, or guiding you

219
00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:33.319
through the estate settlement process during a difficult time. And

220
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:37.359
we try and make it easy and convenient to get started.
