The City of Smithville, Missouri has decided to round up payments to the nearest nickel due to the discontinuation of penny production by the U.S. Mint. President Donald Trump ordered the end of penny production as costs rose to nearly 4 cents per penny. The city will adjust cash payments for city services accordingly, while online, credit card, and check payments remain unaffected. Smithville is closely monitoring Missouri House Bill 2819, which addresses the penny shortage, and will make necessary changes when the bill becomes effective.
