   US and EU currency should abolish cents in physical and in banking. whether your avocado toast is $5.99 or $6 makes no difference and we'd save a lot of copper etc

     @kaia@brotka.st I'm curious how this would increase costs per person though. Like a $1.25 USD candy bar would probably be rounded to $2. That difference could add up over time. Our currency is really inflated though. Individual pennies are not worth as much as several years ago

     @kaia (to wit, they do it even for integer prices: 599 instead of 600)

     @kaia cents are fine. It's this abuse that should be banned

     @fleckenstein @kaia they don't have 1 and 2 cent coins in holland either, depending on the amount it's rounded up or down.

     @catto @kaia How do you end up with them without also being able to get rid of them though? Like giving them back their 1¥ and 5¥ next time.
