No More Pennies: How Firearms Retailers Can Prepare for the End of the 1¢ Coin

The Penny’s Last Stand in the U.S.

After more than two centuries in circulation, the American penny is officially being phased out. The final new one-cent coins were minted in late 2025, marking the end of an era that stretches back over 230 years. The simple reason is economics: it now costs several cents to produce a single penny. That imbalance made continuing production unsustainable.

For firearms retailers, this might sound like a small, almost laughable change. But in day-to-day retail operations, especially in shops that still handle a fair amount of cash, this will create real,
practical shifts at the counter.

Upcoming Update: Removal of the Penny & Cash Rounding in coreSTORE

Please note: These features are not live yet. This article is provided to help you understand what will be changing once the update is released.

Many businesses operate in areas where pennies are no longer in circulation. To accommodate this, coreSTORE will soon include a Cash Rounding feature that automatically rounds cash transactions to the nearest nickel (0.05).
