What happened
The House of Representatives passed the Common Cents Act in a unanimous vote. The legislation blocks the Treasury from minting any more pennies, with exceptions made for collector coins. The bill also establishes a framework requiring cash transactions to be rounded to the nearest five cents, though cash wages must be rounded up if not divisible by five cents.

Why it matters
The act aims to eliminate the need for pennies altogether. The Treasury estimated that the decision would result in an immediate annual savings of $56 million, given the high cost of producing pennies.
