You can buy items in bulk that are measured in 10/thsw of a cent (don't include gas in this, because we buy it by the dollar amount, not the gallon.) For example, if a resistor (electrical component) costs$0.027, it gets rounded to 3 cents. No biggie.</p><p><br /></p><p>BUT... if something costs 3 cents, you just lost 2 pennies.
