<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 4713176, member: 18157&quot;]Well, perhaps I didn&#039;t express myself well. The cafeteria in the building where I last worked, stopped taking cents a few years ago. I asked about it and they said that handling cents was more time and effort than they were worth. They simply adjusted their back-end prices/portions to be revenue neutral. </p><p><br /></p><p>For years before that, people would just put their cents (and nickels) in a cup at the register...they didn&#039;t want them, either. If you needed a cent or two, you would pull from the cup. This simply ended all the time and commotion of dealing with these worthless coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s ZERO (0) reason the same can&#039;t be done for nickels and dimes; they&#039;re obsolete. There&#039;s a reason why we retire the Half Cent. Today&#039;s Dime has a purchasing value less than a 1960 cent...so why do we continue with cents, nickels, and dimes today...there&#039;s no valid requirement for them and no one wants them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
