Interesting. We stopped making 1 and 2 cent coins decades ago. 5 cent is our smallest coin in Australia. Every business simply rounded up or down until digital currency was introduced, they still round up or down if you're paying with cash.

Indeed. I recently lived there for two years. It looks like after COVID, and with the Digital ID system, AU is more than flirting with the idea of going fully cashless. Everything tracked, everything traced seems to be the guiding idea.
