Our library has not talked about this regarding the penny shortage specifically but I would like to do rounding just to make things easier at the front desk if it was a possibility.
Would love to hear more about what other libraries are doing. ~ Millissa ~ Millissa ________________________________ From: Brown, Courtney via Evergreen-general <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2025 11:40 AM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Cc: Brown, Courtney <[email protected]> Subject: [Evergreen-general] Penny Shortage Good afternoon, With national discussion around the penny supply shortage and plans to potentially cease production of the penny, one of our consortium’s library systems has inquired about potential plans to round monetary values in Evergreen to the nearest nickel or whole dollar. Currently, our fine rules used in circulation policies are found to already be set to the nearest 0.25 cent. However, item prices set for item replacement cost differ and are not always rounded to the nearest coin or dollar. I wanted to start a discussion to see if others have begun to think about possible future changes to try and avoid the use of pennies. Are there any libraries that have already made plans to handle this change in currency? Your feedback on this topic is greatly appreciated.
