Everything in the world should be around a 5.00 or a 10.00 or 7.00. Pennies? Annoyed the world.  :-[

Pennies actually aren't useless.
Charities and other shit that you're meant to give change to, actually profit a LOT from them. Such a small amount, but a lot of people are easily willing to give that small amount to help, and it actually does. Businesses also run off of them in the same manor.

I bit to differ.
Pennies are quite valuable.

For example:

Pennies are quite expensive to make than their actual value... (Shawn's post)

The only reason they also put $1.99 and not $2.00 is because the human mind thinks that it looks cheaper since it sees a 1, not a 2 so it benefits industries... in a way.

Not to me it looks like it costs more since theres double 9 instead of double 0

> 1.95

Anyways, what's being suggested is do what the other countries are doing, and just round to the nearest 5.

Ergo, if you buy something that costs 17.54, it'le be rounded off to 17.55.

I agree with what Shawn said, Too many people in the united states are greedy about their coin. I wouldn't be surprised this will change in the near future though.

I'm really surprised no one has said anything about this... no discussion? D:
