<p>[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 192868, member: 669"]If things are priced in even 5¢ increments instead of .49, .99, etc., sales tax would still leave final prices with 1-4/6-9¢ ending price totals. With no tax and prices pre-rounded to end in 5 or 0, there would be no need for 1¢ coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>So all we need to do to make the cent redundant is to convince the other 49 states (plus D.C., Puerto Rico, and the various territories) to abolish sales taxes! Yeah, sure. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
