Is it about time, or is it still useful? If you think its time has passed, what about the nickel/dime/quarter?

    Only if they round down, and not up. I don’t want to pay an extra 4¢ in tax on everything.

      In Canada it only rounds if you pay cash, credit/debit is still to the penny.

      And with cash it rounds up if it’s $8.48 but it would round down if it were $8.47 so it generally averages out. Stores still have things listed for $9.99 rather than $10.00 though which is annoying.

        Idk man. Richard Pryor’s half a penny scam from the old Superman III comes to mind. I’m sure the corporations will use it to figure out a way to make billions more dollars. Basically I don’t want anything to change anymore. I can’t think of the last positive change since the ACA. It seems like every change, even ones that seem positive, end up screwing us over.

          The thing is, billionaires “win” no matter what we do (just look at the likes of Zuckerberg’s dead fish eyed stare: that’s “winning” folks, apparently! Makes me glad that I’m just a scumbag “loser” who can actually enjoy some aspects of life!?). So the rest of us might as well get something that we want out of it all as well?

      Well, it would round on the total of the transaction and not the item.

      Plus you can round both up and down and you will end up with a rough wash over time.
