The rule about no pennies in overseas bases is true in places like Japan and Germany, but in combat locations like Iraq and Afghanistan they do away with coins altogether and print out little cardboard coins that act as gift certificates worth however much they're supposed to be worth. Saves a lot of trouble concerning the weight of shipping coins around.

About 4 years ago New Zealand eliminated the 5 cent coin. Now our transactions round to the nearest 10 cents. Life became a lot simpler.

I've never understood why we don't include the sales tax in the price tags of goods. It's stupid.
