When the U.S. Mint halted new penny production in late 2025, many business owners and consumers are evaluating what this change means for day-to-day transactions. As the supply of pennies gradually declines, the shift toward rounding cash payments to the nearest nickel is expected to become standard practice. Swipe to learn more.

As payment practices continue to evolve, staying informed matters. If you have questions about how this shift may affect your budgeting, tax reporting, or business operations, contact us for guidance.

June is a wonderful time to celebrate the kind of community spirit that reminds us how much good exists in the world. This month, we are sharing a story that proves kindness has no age limit and that one act of generosity can change everything.

At Louisa County High School in Virginia, a group of teenage automotive students spend their semesters doing something truly remarkable. Instead of simply learning how to repair cars in an insulated classroom, they restore donated vehicles and give them away to single parents in need of reliable transportation. In partnership with the nonprofit Giving Words, the program has given away over 60 cars and repaired more than 260, one garage door reveal at a time.

For recipients like Jessica Rader, a single mom of three, the gift was far more than a set of wheels. It opened the door to full-time work, independence, and peace of mind. These students’ actions are a wonderful reminder of the lasting impacts that acts of kindness can have on our communities.
