<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 291807, member: 39&quot;]From what I know (e.g. Denmark, Netherlands) rounding does not have an inflationary effect. All you do is round the total amount, not the price of any single item. Totals are rounded up or down, whatever is closer, e.g. if your smallest unit is a 5 cent piece, it would be 8/9/0/1/2 -&gt; 0 and 3/4/5/6/7 -&gt; 5. And usually it affects cash payments only anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sure, some merchants might try and use the introduction of such rounding rules to increase prices - except that in competitive markets that would be somewhat difficult. Increasing wages, taxes, prices of raw products, energy cost etc. etc. influence prices, not the question whether cash totals are rounded up/down or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my two, errm, zero cents. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
