Canada recently ended circulation of the penny.
Under the new system, cash transactions will now round up or down to the nearest nickel once taxes are added in. That means, potentially, there's profit to be made if you shop carefully enough. If the majority of your purchase prices end in .01 or .02, or .06 or .07, they will typically be rounded down to the nearest .00 or .05. If your purchases tend to end in .03 or .04, or .08 or .09, however, store owners will typically round up.
The brutal thing is watching these idiot kids try to figure out how much change to give back. They already can't count money.
Oh, the Canadian government is also saying that the above is merely a guideline. If a business wants to round up every transaction they can.
The fancy .25 cent piece is just for coin collectors.
