<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 334237, member: 39&quot;]Hmm. In Germany, a standard letter used to be 1.10 DM before the euro cash changeover, and that amount got correctly converted to 56 cent in 2002. But such &quot;odd&quot; prices were not popular, and after some time the postage for such letters was changed and has been 55 cent since then. Sure, prices of various other postal products went up. But that is my point - some prices will be lower and some will be higher ...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Over here - in Finland and the Netherlands for example - this is done differently. That candy bar is, say, €0.75 plus 8% VAT, thus a total of 0.81 - and if that bar is the only item you buy, the total you pay will be 0.80. Now if you buy several items and the cash total is 4.58, then you pay 4.60 ... Does not sound very complicated to me, nor does it discriminate against poor people.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
