New Zealand removed the 5c coin form circulation in 2004, leaving us with $2 ,$1 , 50, 20c and 10c coins. Electronic card transactions are charged to the nearest cent and cash transactions are rounded to the nearest 10th.

The transition was straight forward and I didn't hear any complaints.



It works like that in Denmark as well; credit/debit transactions are charged to the full 0.01 kr precision (an absurdly small amount, about 1/10 of a eurocent), but cash transactions are rounded to the nearest 0.5 kr.
