flag McDonald’s in Rockford, Illinois, now rounds cash change to the nearest five cents due to penny shortages, affecting only cash payments.

flag McDonald’s locations in Rockford, Illinois, have begun rounding cash change to the nearest five cents due to ongoing penny shortages, though the U.S. Mint still produces pennies. flag The policy affects only cash payments and does not alter menu prices or card transactions. flag It applies only when change would end in 1–4 or 6–9 cents, leaving amounts ending in 0 or 5 unchanged. flag The change, shared via a Facebook post with a drive-thru photo, reflects early adaptation to declining penny use, though McDonald’s has not said if it will expand beyond Rockford.
