McDonald’s isn’t wasting any time in phasing out the penny here in the U.S. I actually snapped this photo at the drive-through a couple days ago, before we stopped minting pennies:

The U.S. ended production of the penny Wednesday, abandoning the 1-cent coins that were embedded in American culture for more than 230 years but became nearly worthless.

A printed McDonald’s sign explains a nationwide penny shortage leading to cash change rounding to the nearest 5 cents. Menu prices stay unchanged; only change will be rounded. The sign concludes with, “We appreciate your understanding!” There is a decorative element with an orange and yellow design on the right.
