📢 Important Update: The U.S. Penny Has Been Discontinued
In June, the federal government officially discontinued the U.S. penny. While the transition will take time, the Jefferson County Treasurer’s Office is taking proactive steps to keep our residents informed and prepared.
Here’s what this means for you:
• Cash transactions will shift to rounding to the nearest five cents
• Digital payments remain exact to the penny
• Local businesses will receive toolkits and guidance
• Financial literacy programs will help families understand the changes
• Our office will share clear and consistent updates throughout the transition
Change doesn’t have to be confusing — we’re here to make it smooth, simple, and transparent for our entire community.
Angela Webb-Weinberg, Jefferson County Treasurer
