<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 1576221, member: 4626&quot;]People are being a little overdramatic about this aren&#039;t they?&nbsp; Reminds me off all the tax tokens they made for fractions of cents until people realized that if you rounded to the nearest cent, you&#039;d never be out more than 1/2 a cent at worst.&nbsp; Worst you&#039;d be off for rounding to the nearest nickel is five cents.&nbsp; And that only applies to CASH transactions; computers can handle cents just fine, whether pennies existed or not.&nbsp; Or they&#039;d just round to the nearest nickel if they were programmed to.&nbsp; Plenty of countries have gotten rid of their low value coins and it didn&#039;t cause inflation, catastrophe, zombie apocalypse, etc.&nbsp; New Zealand doesn&#039;t make a coin smaller than 10 cents and they seem to be doing OK last I checked.&nbsp; (P.S.&nbsp; Canada is dumping their cent next year.&nbsp; Let&#039;s see if they collapse or not.&nbsp; I&#039;m betting not.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s say you were paid every two weeks and were ripped off just short of 5 cents every paycheck.&nbsp; That&#039;s $1.30 a year at worst.&nbsp; You really think that&#039;s going to have a significant impact on your purchasing power?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
