<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2041785, member: 39&quot;]Both. In Sweden and Denmark (EU, non-euro) this has been done for many years (look up &quot;Swedish rounding&quot; in Wikipedia <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ), also in Norway and Switzerland for example (non-EU, non-euro). In the euro area, it is done in Finland, Belgium and the Netherlands - i.e. merchants are allowed to round. If they do, it must be done according to the same principles as in Sweden or Canada.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the euro area, the 1 and 2 cent coins are still legal tender even in BE/FI/NL but they are not used much of course. Which means fewer are minted. The alternative could be to make aluminum pieces maybe, but I think they still have that &quot;odor&quot; of cheap emergency money. Personally I much prefer rounding when using cash ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
