How long until society stops trying to con itself with "9.99 is obviously cheaper than 10" and everything is priced in whole numbers to remove change or anything lower than a whole number?

Please tell me where you are on the internet.

Now tell me how many significant digits are typically listed with a bitcoin wallet amount.

Germany.

Online currency isn't what I'm talking about. Online currency can do whatever it wants. But fuck stores charging 3.17 for a physical purchase and then cashiers getting pissy with you because you want to get rid of some quarters, dimes, and pennies.

Additionally, fuck the banks for charging me to deposit my own money into my account just because it's not conveniently bill shaped.

intedesting, seems like it would work weird in the US as every county has a different sales tax rate and businesses wouldnt want to swallow the small tax difference trying to keep uniformed prices

Where I live different categories of products have different tax rates, for example the tax on alcohol is higher than on food, but the total price with tax included is printed on the price tags. It's not that hard to let a computer calculate the price and automatically print the tags.

Just give them to homeless people or toss em on the ground. I know most credit unions will do coin counting for free.
