We round up and round down to the nearest dollar as well and the transition wasn't that hard. You'll be fine!!! :) But make sure you keep a supply of your pennies for nostalgia in the future. I wish I had have kept a jarful somewhere instead of just one or two. We also got rid of $1 and $2 notes. Our lowest denomination are (is?) $5 notes. Should have kept a supply of those too :( Here in Australia, we got rid of 1 cents and 2 cent coins I think back in the early 1980′s.

What if I only have an ashtray of pennies to pay for a candy bar? Would they accept my pennies? It is still legal tender, even if it is annoying.
