flag McDonald's is rounding cash prices to the nearest nickel at some locations due to a nationwide penny shortage.

flag McDonald's is rounding cash transactions to the nearest nickel at select locations due to a nationwide shortage of pennies, caused by the U.S. Mint halting production earlier in 2025. flag The policy, which applies only to cash payments and adjusts totals up or down by up to two cents, does not affect credit or digital payments. flag The shift follows similar moves by retailers like Kroger, Love’s, and Home Depot, as businesses adapt to the declining availability of the one-cent coin. flag While some grocers have raised concerns about fairness and legal issues, McDonald's says the change is a practical response to operational challenges. flag The broader trend reflects ongoing adjustments across the retail sector as the U.S. grapples with the economic and logistical impact of the penny’s absence.
