<p>[QUOTE="Chewmassa, post: 2847105, member: 89276"]That's what I meant. Sorry I didn't make myself completely clear. The point however, is that rounding takes place and people don't seem to have an issue with it. If the penny, or even for that matter the nickel and dime while we're at it (remember the half cent at the time it was discontinued was worth over 10 cents in todays money) left circulation and we rounded up to the next denomination people would throw a hissy fit at first and then procede to get over it. If we went ahead and got rid of all three at once it would rip off the bandage metaphorically speaking AND the half would have a chance to become useful again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
