由于钱币短缺, 现在麦当劳在伊利诺伊州的洛克福德将现金换成最接近的5美分, McDonald’s in Rockford, Illinois, now rounds cash change to the nearest five cents due to penny shortages, affecting only cash payments.

在伊利诺伊州罗克福德(Rockford)的麦当劳开始将现金变动四舍五入至五美分, 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. 该政策仅影响现金支付,不会改变菜单价格或信用卡交易。 The policy affects only cash payments and does not alter menu prices or card transactions. 只有当变动以1至4分或6至9分结束时,它才适用,而以0或5分结束的金额保持不变。 It applies only when change would end in 1–4 or 6–9 cents, leaving amounts ending in 0 or 5 unchanged. 这一变化反映了麦当劳早已适应使用便士的减少, 尽管麦当劳没有透露是否会扩展到罗克福德以外. 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.
