FYI, in EU (or at least in Finland), euros are rounded to the nearest five cents and stores don't even accept the 1 and 2 cent coins, even though they exist.

  Germans have to endure 1 and 2 cent pricing.

    But at least we have after-tax prices.

      Yes. Otherwise, how could we make fun of the Americans? (But, too be fair, prices for b2b stuff are normally quoted without VAT (or MWSt to be German).)

  Australia, to the best of my knowledge, doesn't even have a denomination smaller than the nickel.

    I just got back from a trip to Australia and New Zealand, and this is one of the things that I noticed while I was over there. Neither of those countries seemed to have pennies. If they did, I didn't encounter them while I was there. The lowest denomination I saw in Australia was a 5-cent coin, and the lowest I saw in New Zealand was a 10-cent coin. I remarked while I was over there at how much sense this made to me and wished that the same would happen in the United States, because I feel like pennies are worthless. I'm glad to see someone experimenting with it in the US.

      We got rid of our one and two cent coins in Australia in 1992. Likewise, you're correct about New Zealand not having 1, 2 or 5 cent coins.

    In New Zealand the smallest coin is a ten cent coin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coins_of_the_New_Zealand_dollar#Current_coinage

  In Finland maybe, but in France, Italy, Spain, Belgium at least the euro 1 and 2 cents are commonly used.
