亚利桑那州规定,现金交易四舍五入至五美分,在美分产量终止后生效。 Arizona mandates cash transactions be rounded to nearest 5 cents, effective after ending penny production.

亚利桑那州已颁布法律, 要求企业将现金交易转折至五美分以下, Arizona has enacted a law requiring businesses to round cash transactions to the nearest five cents, effective after the state ended penny production. 以1分或2分结束的金额四舍五入,3分或4分向上,6分或7分向下,8分或9分向上。 Amounts ending in 1 or 2 cents are rounded down, 3 or 4 up, 6 or 7 down, and 8 or 9 up. 该规则仅适用于现金,而不是数字或信用卡支付,企业必须发出通知。 The rule applies only to cash, not digital or card payments, and businesses must post notices. 批评者担心这可能导致不公平的结果或成为隐性税收,而支持者则说这提高了效率。 Critics worry it could lead to unfair outcomes or act as a hidden tax, while supporters say it improves efficiency. 华盛顿州正在考虑类似的立法,这反映了随着现金使用量减少和生产成本高而逐步停止使用该便士的全国性转变。 Washington state is considering similar legislation, reflecting a national shift toward phasing out the penny amid declining cash use and high production costs.
