You know...I once lived in a country which made their 1c obsolete. The switchover is simpler than it may appear.
Excluding possibly wholesale unit cost calculations, all retail prices simply ended in "0" or "5"--simple solution and no conspiracy.

Removing the cent wont stop that, especially since the cent would still be valid for electronic transactions. With sales tax, something that cost $1.00 would be $1.06 where I live, still requiring a cent for exact change, but I am sure most places would gladly take $1.05 and call it good.

Only $.06? WOW. Here in Illinois we now have a 10.25% sales tax and in Chicago it is now 10.50%. Rounding up or down is of little help around here.
