In this episode of the podcast, we sit down with Ben Joergens, Director of Financial Empowerment at Old National Bank, to break down what it really means to say goodbye to the penny. We talk about why the last penny was minted, how much it actually costs to make one, and which coins could be next on the chopping block. Ben also shares insights on what these changes could mean for businesses, pricing, and everyday consumers. It is a timely conversation about money, efficiency, and how small changes can have a big economic impact.
