The Central Bank in Ireland is going to start phasing out 1 & 2 cents shortly. To this end, rounding up is also starting this week.
From now on, your total bill will be rounded up. So if your total is €10.92 you will be charged €10.90. While if your bill is €10.93 you will be charged €10.95.
So in essence you will win on the round down sometimes and lose on the round up sometimes but it will probably equal out over time....unless you manage to put €20.02 in to your petrol tank each time you are filling your car! ;-)
Doesn't make sense to me. Where does it end? Next step they will round to the Euro.
