Postal and Passport Services

UWF Postal and Passport Services operates a full-service U.S. Post Office in the University Commons (Building 22).

USPS Penny Rounding Policy Effective 12/12/2025

USPS Penny Rounding Policy flyer

Because pennies are no longer produced by the U.S. Mint, the Postal Service is rounding to the nearest nickel on change due the customer for cash transactions when pennies are unavailable.

Change due to the customer ending in 1, 2, 6 or 7 cents will be rounded down. Amounts ending in 3, 4, 8 or 9 cents will be rounded up.

If the total cash visit amount is less than 5 cents, the purchase amount will be rounded up to 5 cents, unless paid with exact change.

Pennies are legal tender and are still accepted as payment.

This new policy took effect Dec. 12.

The rounding rules do not apply to credit/debit card or check transactions.

The U.S. Mint ceased production of pennies, which were introduced in 1793, on Nov. 12.
