academic

Ursula Delinghaus is an associate professor at Ripon College in Wisconsin, known for her research in the anthropology of money. She has been vocal about the implications of the U.S. Treasury's decision to stop producing the penny, arguing that the impact goes beyond mere economics. Delinghaus points out that cash, including small denominations like the penny, is important for many individuals in budgeting and cost control, and she advocates for recognizing the daily experiences and interactions that people have with physical currency.
