We aren&#039;t talking about rounding prices of individual items, where a million 8-cent parts will suddenly cost your company $100,000 instead of $80,000. We&#039;re talking about a $31.28 grocery bill being rounded up to $31.30 -- and a $31.27 bill rounding down to $31.25. If you&#039;re paying with electronic transfer, check, or card, you&#039;ll pay an exact-cents amount, regardless of the total.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you earn more than $72,000/year in a salaried position with two weeks&#039; paid vacation, your pay is <i>more than one cent per SECOND</i>. How many seconds should you spend counting out pennies for change?</p><p><br /></p><p>If the one-cent coin cost <b>nothing</b> to produce and distribute, it would <b>still</b> be a drag on our economy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
