Did You Know?
Changes to Penny Production: Did you know that it costs $3.69 to produce a penny, which is more than 270% of its value? As a result, the U.S. Mint incurs a loss of over 2.5 cents on each penny it produces. The US Mint ceased producing pennies in November 2025, citing decreased demand and increasing production expenses. This decision indicates that pennies will slowly become less prevalent in circulation. Although pennies will still be considered legal tender and usable, you may observe fewer pennies in change or transactions. The U.S. Mint estimates that ceasing penny production will save the government approximately $56 million each year.
What does that mean to you? 2024 marked the 19th consecutive year in which producing pennies and nickels cost more than their face value. The Federal Reserve has stopped processing penny orders at numerous banks. Once the supply of pennies at banks and retail stores is depleted, businesses and banks are preparing to round cash transactions to the nearest $0.05, while electronic payments will remain exact. You may want to consider using only digital payment methods when it's possible to specify the amount. It’s a good idea to check your change. Any pennies you have are still valuable and usable. You may also bring them to your bank to deposit them into your account or exchange them for cash.
Fun Fact: Check for any pennies minted before 1982, which may have collector's value.

Letter from the Executive Director

Hi Everyone,
The subconscious mind is like a garden. Whatever seeds you plant will grow. ~Louise Hay
January is when many people establish their New Year's resolutions, laying the foundation and planting seeds for their goals and aspirations toward greater success.
February was about reinforcing and deepening what you started.
Now comes the part most people overlook: nurturing the garden.
Your subconscious mind does not require additional information, willpower, or discipline; it thrives on consistent nurturing. The thoughts you form are the result of daily practice. That’s why hypnosis proves to be so effective.
Each session with a Hypnotherapist, or even during self-hypnosis, nurtures the garden of your subconscious, strengthening neural pathways and reinforcing the beliefs you are developing.
Those on the path to significant success are not only setting goals in January but also working diligently every day to become the best version of themselves.
What do you want to cultivate in your garden? Clarity and focus Magnetize wealth Increase confidence Greater peace …and so much more
Hypnosis is a daily practice for personal growth, a moment to connect with your highest self and allow your subconscious to advance and evolve naturally.
It’s never too late to start now and plant new seeds. Join us for our upcoming Ericksonian Hypnosis training.
