Last question for ya newbie. What about sales tax rates since they currently vary widely and are usually counted to the fraction of the cent.

Wat? e: oh.

Fractions of cents are something nobody cares enough about to change. Let the computers worry about it.

sales tax. Unless of course you want a 25% sales tax.

Oh, that.

I don't think anybody's saying retailers can't pre-calculate sales tax and adjust markups on individual items so they meet round currency values. Sounds like a bit of a headache, though, especially for bulk purchases. And especially considering that depending on the area, local and state sales taxes can combine to form completely different numbers.

Maybe I'm weird but I make cash purchases all day long and I always count out the change if I have it in my pocket...

I don't think you're understanding what I'm trying to say. We're talking about fractions of a penny here.
