What I've been reading in the comments about this story on reddit is Canada and other countries already did this (eliminate the penny) and the final price is rounded to the nearest nickel, not always up.
- jesseb 8y agoCash purchases in Canada are indeed rounded to the nearest nickel; it is not always up. Credit/debit purchases are still to the penny, as there is no reason for them not to be. All cash purchases average out to no change over time, and I don't know anybody who misses pennies. I wish they'd drop the nickel next.
