Stores don't even accept change anymore. Why are they still minting any of these?

Really? I've not run into that yet other than the fast food restaurants that don't take cash at all. It must be the type of places I go or something.

I noticed it during the pandemic. Grocery stores stopped giving change (maybe they did accept it still).
The general issue is places not accepting cash at all.

Ah, okay. It definitely must be a regional thing then, I pay cash a lot and haven't run into that yet. A lot of places around definitely do prefer cards though.

Great question. It probably takes an act of Congress to stop the minting of Pennies
