| 290919 | 2004-11-11 21:04:00 | I personally would like to see it go as there's hardly any purpose of having it. It's really useless, even parking meter doesn't accept it. | SKT174 (1319) | ||
| 290920 | 2004-11-11 21:08:00 | 5c is as bad as having 99c lol. Whats the point of having things costing 5.99 or something. | Spacemannz (808) | ||
| 290921 | 2004-11-11 21:08:00 | >even parking meter doesn't accept it. The ones round here won't accept $10.00 notes either. Your suggestion is? |

| 290923 | 2004-11-11 21:55:00 | With the amount of people using EFTPOS and credit cards nowadays, cash sales account for a tiny proportion of today's transactions. I know that the store where I work part-time rounds figures down if paid in cash - ie. $5.99 becomes $5.95 if paid in cash, simply to keep customers happy. It would be interesting to see what happens once the 5c is removed, will they round up to $6.00, or down to $5.90? |

| 290926 | 2004-11-11 22:46:00 | I heard on the radio this morning, that a local store makes about $250 a week simply from the rounding on cash sales. | somebody (208) | ||
| 290927 | 2004-11-11 23:44:00 | I never use real money any more - always eftpos even when buying a can of coke, When my parents owe me money i just get them to deposit it. | ApeNz (4220) | ||

I bet most of that "profit" would be taken from them by all the kids/people using their EFT-POS cards for 25 or fifty cent purchases like my lot do. :p :D |
