IIRC, pre-Euro France did away with their equivalent of the 1-cent piece. I'll ask my boss Monday if she noticed any difference, as she spent a year over there in the late 90s.

One of the arguments here against retiring the penny is that prices will be rounded up to the nearest .05. So, at worst, I might have to pay an extra .04 on items I purchase. *shrugs* If it keeps the money circulating in the economy, it can't be all bad.
