*END OF THE PENNY:* The House unanimously passed the bipartisan Common Cents Act, moving to permanently end production of the one-cent coin. The U.S. Mint already stopped producing pennies for circulation in 2025 after 232 years, but the bill would make the change permanent. Existing pennies will remain legal tender, while cash transactions would generally be rounded to the nearest five cents. The measure now heads toward final enactment.
