My country uses the US Dollar as currency but since tax is added to prices we dont use pennies as much as in the US.

* Most prices are given in 5 cent multiples. * The pennies I get are usually from change in supermarkets or from produfts with .99 prices Vending machine and parking machines don't accept pennies

I do find the Dollar Coin annoying, which we use instead of the Dollar Bill. It's very easy to get lots of dollar coins as change.

I wish we used the $1 and $2 bill though. It would be very useful for the average transaction amount we have here. Our neighbouring countries all have bills near that amount.
