My comment is meant to be high level.

If you want a specific solution:

1. use a POS that supports rounding to the nearest 5 cents

2. ignore laws written assuming the penny is in production. they obviously need to be updated. judges are not idiots.



Ah - the "trust me bro" defense. How does that protect you from the legal costs of malicious prosecution? Even if you win it will cost you.


No it's the "penny is no longer in production" defense.

Look, if you own a business do whatever you want.
