Earlier this month, the U.S. Treasury stopped minting pennies because making the one-cent coins became too expensive. Theo Christo has been stashing away pennies at his breakfast restaurant, Theo's Cozy Corner, in Boston's North End for months. He hopes to give his customers exact change for as long as possible. "I prefer to be cash-only, so I don't have to deal with fees, credit card fees," he told WBZ-TV. But that's getting harder. Businesses are struggling to make change. "The restaurant industry is literally an industry of pennies," said Stephen Clark of the Massachusetts Restaurant Association. He said businesses are now torn.
