The US Senate has passed the Common Cents bill, which establishes a cash rounding framework for merchants and formally ends production of the penny. The measure now heads to the White House, where the president's signature would make the phase-out law. Observers in banking and payments are watching how retailers adapt to rounding rules once pennies disappear from circulation.

Why now: The Senate has passed a bill eliminating the penny, a notable change to US currency heading to the White House.
