DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Daytona Beach has officially stopped accepting pennies for utility bills, beginning a new policy that rounds cash payments to the nearest five cents.
This change is part of a broader effort to reduce reliance on the one-cent coin as the U.S. Mint has halted production of new pennies.
As a result, customers will notice this adjustment reflected on their utility bills.
The city’s new policy means that if a customer’s utility bill requires rounding, the difference will appear as a credit on their next month’s statement.
