What ever happened to the cent symbol?

I think I'm remembering correctly . . . When visiting New Zealand in the '90s, their smallest denomination coin was 10¢. Then 20¢, and 50¢, etc. That makes sense to me as it simply eliminates the second decimal place altogether. Instead of $1.45, a price would appear as $1.4 or $1.5. As the saying goes, "A penny saved is a waste of time".

Will gas stations ever stop the $3.699 nonsense. Are we really as stupid as they seem to think we are? :rolleyes:
It’s the $4.899 nonsense where I live. you’re lucky.
