I'm starting to think that the true purpose of the deprecation of the penny is to get stores to stop accepting cash because I'm noticing that more and more stores are requesting for exact change or having some new weird change policy. It wouldn't surprise me if they can't keep up with this and have to ditch cash payments all together.

@beardalaxy @xianc78 the plan is to do what they do with Canada and just increase/decrease the tax so it's even.
