[QUOTE="National dealer, post: 22159, member: 487"]Your idea has merit and has been discussed many times. While the rounding theory works for those of us in the real world....unfortunately we often do not live in a world with real rules. Those against the idea of rounding make the point that retailers would automatically round up instead of down. Looks like a good arguement on paper, but as most people know, things are already rounded up. The credit card and check purchases would still be to the single digit with no rounding. That is how things get wrapped up with no solution. If rounding is going to work, it has to be across the board. No exceptions. Now I like the cent, but it for the most part does have limited use in general commerce. Yes they are used and collected, and they do serve a purpose. I don't see the cent being removed in our lifetime. Too much pressure to keep making billions. As far as losing the dollar bill, I don't see that happening either. Wouldn't miss either personally. Just make them more collectible.[/QUOTE]
