HOUSE PASSES BILL TO END PENNY PRODUCTION: The U.S. House passed the bipartisan Common Cents Act by voice vote, moving to permanently end production of pennies for general circulation. Existing pennies would remain legal tender, while cash transactions could be rounded to the nearest five cents when exact change is unavailable; card and other non-cash payments would remain charged to the exact cent. The bill also allows Treasury to explore a cheaper composition for nickels.
