I'd like to see pennies and nickles go away. I wouldn't auger an entire nation into the ground for it but on it's own, I think it serves us. Seeing compulsive $xx.99 marketers adapt to pennylessness could be amusing.

This is one of the very few things I agree with the administration. I d be fine with dimes going away, too.

  Unlike pennies, I use dimes enough that I would prefer they be kept around. Rounding prices to the nearest penny is OK. Rounding to the nearest quarter, less so.

We did it in Norway, many years ago. Buy a few apples and something that costs x.99, the sum is then y.53 or z.17 and it's rounded to a sum that can be paid with coins. End of story.

  Rounded up, I assume?
  - Arnt 1y ago
    .00-.24 are rounded down to .00, .25-.74 are rounded to .50 and .75-.99 are rounded up to .00. Why would you assume anything else?

      Because I’m from the US.

$xx.95. I already see that not-infrequently.
