In US/UK prices like $5.98 are annoyingly common. Paying in cash you are getting pennies of change and to pay with them one have to collect a lot of coins which inconvenient to carry and takes time to count. When prices are reasonably rounded using cash is more convenient.

So you take your tiny coins and use them to get bigger coins. You buy something and it's 4.53, and you give 5.03 to get 0.50 in change.

    This assumes you want the 5.03 item, and it's just a way to consolidate change instead of having a change jar.
