Le preguntamos a setenta y tres dominicanos cómo dividen la cuenta cuando salen en grupo.

Aproximadamente uno de cada cinco deja que pague uno y después cobra. Y otros sacan la calculadora y pagan lo suyo. Y casi nadie hace las cuentas al ojo.

• Partes iguales, aunque no todos pidieron lo mismo: 52%

• Paga uno y después les cobra a los demás: 22%

• Cada quien saca la calculadora y paga lo suyo: 22%

• Alguien hace las cuentas al ojo y se reparte más o menos: 4%

Así que dime, en tu grupo, ¿cuál es la regla?

A year ago today, the US made its last penny for circulation, in Philadelphia, on November 12, 2025, after 232 years.

Why stop? Each one cost 3.69 cents to make, more than it was worth, up from 1.42 cents a decade before.

About 300 billion are still out there, each still worth a cent, and the Mint still makes pennies for collectors (US Mint, 2025).

Now Congress has voted to let stores round cash to the nearest nickel, but card payments keep their exact cents (Common Cents Act, passed September 28, 2026).

Good riddance, or do you miss the penny?

Money doesn't have to be weird. Dibi, for splitting bills. #penny #onthisday

¿Debe ser la propina requerida por ley en todas partes, o debería ser voluntaria?

• En Dominicana el 10% es ley si comes en el local, pero en delivery o para llevar no te lo pueden cobrar (Código de Trabajo, art. 228; SCJ, sentencia 033-2021-SSEN-00765).

• En México es voluntaria, y nadie la suma sin tu permiso (Profeco, 2023).

• En Chile te sugieren al menos un 10%, y puedes decir que no (Código del Trabajo, art. 64).

• En Japón no se acostumbra, el agradecimiento va en un sobre (Organización Nacional de Turismo de Japón).

Propina mandatoria o voluntaria?

Pew Research Center asked almost 12,000 people what they'd tip at a normal sit-down place, with normal food and normal service. I figured most would say 20%, because that's what you hear now, but more than half said 15% or less, and the most common answer was exactly 15%. Only about one in five said 20%, and 2% said nothing at all. So maybe 15% isn't cheap, and maybe that's just what people do.

The full breakdown:
• Nothing: 2%
• Less than 15%: 18%
• 15%: 37%, the most common answer
• 18%: 12%
• 20%: 22%
• More than 20%: 2%
• Some other amount: 7%

11,945 adults, surveyed in August 2023. Is 15% enough, or has tipping gone too far?
