The OP was talking about rounding up to the next dollar;
possibly up to 99c - which is a bit much if not being
offered as a tip. I'd take the difference out of the tip:-)

In Oz, coins less than 5c were withdrawn decades ago. Bills
at the cash register are rounded to the nearest 5c, up or
down. So $6.42 -> $6.40, and $6.43 -> $6.45.
