Round Down

The Round Down US project (by Utah Gold) asks merchants to round cash transactions to the nearest quarter. The goal of the project is to point out that the Federal Reserve has gradually devalued our currency to the point that small change no long carries a perceived value for the public at large.

The program is also a statement in favor of consumers who've been nickeled and dimed by the central banks to the point that their nickels and dimes no longer carry an appreciable value.

The sections of the Round Down project are:

• About This Project
• Why Round Down?
• Round Down and the Customer
• Round Down and the Merchant
• The Federal Reserve and Inflation
• The Mint and Future of Coins
• Rounding and Taxes
• Round Down and Politics
• QR Code

Merchants participating in the program are asked to display the following QR Code which explains to the customer why they received quarters rather than change counted to the penny:
