<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 7761522, member: 100459"]Recently, we received notices as well as a notice in stores, that coins are scarce again and would I please round up. I went to one store and rounded up that cost me 47 cents and another store, I rounded up 56 cents. That's a total of $1.03. I don't know if there is a coin shortage or not, but I doubt the stores are donating the rounded up change. I usually use my VISA card, but these were two purchases less than $3. If the mint doesn't mint pennies anymore, the cost of everything will go up to the nickel and then the mint will quit minting nickels and purchases will be increased to the dime.</p><p>Another thing, my property tax bill is high enough and if pennies, nickels, dimes, etc., it will just increase my property tax bill... and that's just the start of it. Next time you do a purchase from Wal-Mart, take the receipt and round up each purchase to the nickel and then add that together and compare it to your receipt to find out how much more you will spend.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
