<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 7850661, member: 15588&quot;]I don&#039;t think it would that simple with the cent, because it requires price changes from .01 to .05 as the base unit of coinage. Eliminating halves and dimes didn&#039;t affect the underlying monetary system, so it was much easier.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s why there was a &quot;Price Rounding Act&quot; introduced in 1989 that went nowhere. It introduced rounding prices to .05 rather than .01. A 2017 bill that would stop the cent for 10 years also failed to pass.</p><p><br /></p><p>These factors likely complicate removal of the cent, or at least make it not quite as easy as the other examples.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
