  1. Super! Lets follow much of the world and go to at least a nickel or maybe the dime in rounding. BUT, when are we going to get away from the stupid price.9 for gasoline?? This makes no sense.

  2. Prices won’t necessarily be rounded up or down to the nearest nickel because there will be tens of millions of pennies still out there. The cost of “buy-backs” to remove them from circulation would be too costly.
