I recall in the mid 70’s all the military commissaries and exchanges in Europe stopped using the penny. It was just too expensive to ship them to Europe. Prices were rounded up or down to the nearest .05. Didn’t seem to cause any problem.

I sure miss using a Commissary for groceries! Wonder what the prices are like in one these days?
