<p>[QUOTE=&quot;swhuck, post: 933346, member: 21044&quot;]That&#039;s a different argument than I was making, but equally valid. I was thinking like Zaneman, having seen how infrequently the 1 cent and 2 cent pieces circulate in Europe, and comparing that to the necessity of keeping cents around here for no other reason than to make change for sales tax.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Essentially, what we have in the States is a system where prices are expressed in odd numbers, where tax is added after the fact to make the numbers even odder, and no rounding system exists. I&#039;ve seen rounding in action; it works. I&#039;ve seen tax-inclusive prices in action (even here on occasion, but it&#039;s unusual in most contexts); it works. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Implementing these would be painless, unless you&#039;re just paranoid about rounding. I think it would take the public about two weeks to get used to it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
