It's because 1c and 2c coins were removed from our currency in 1991.
Government policy dictates that all figures must now be rounded to the nearest 5c.
went in Aldi on way home and the bill came to $6.99 and the guy said $7 please. Ha ha what does he do with the 1c? Is this supermarket tips?!!

Vash,
Really had to add that The Aussie govt had a great idea doing that!
No 1 or 2c. Well done.
Well at least I know not to bring my huge whisky bottle to put copper in!

1) Point out that the whole Gallipoli thing really isn't the best thing to celebrate.
2) Buy a Bindi blow-up doll.

Re: The Most Un-Australian thing you could do
Just thought i would start this thead to see what others have learned.
To start off: The most un-Australian thing you could do is to steal from the back of a UTE (Especially a Tradies). seriously if you were caught doing this I think there would be an almost instant lynching.
