We&#039;re rounding them to a unit that&#039;s been trivial for decades. Worrying about rounding up or down by two cents today is like worrying about rounding by a tenth of a cent in 1917.</p><p><br /></p><p>From a purchasing-power point of view, it&#039;s wasteful to have anything smaller than a quarter.
