Australia has weird looking coins that without fail fatten and add weight to my wallet. Their 50cent (go shawty, isshaw birtday) coins look like our 2peso coins, circa 1990. Their $2 coins are as small as the American and Canadian 1cent coin, albeit two times thicker, blah, blah, blah. All stores round up (or down - hardly ever happens) the total amount of your purchases, so as to avoid having to unleash the useless 1cent coins (do they even exist anymore? I don't know) into your rock of a wallet. For example: if your total bill adds up to $31.59, you need to pay $31.60; if it adds up to $25.52, you pay $25.50.
The consipracy theorist in me tells me that two supermarket giants in Australia have hired professional mathematicians to come up with prices that will most likely add up to the numbers 3, 4, 8 and 9 once the customers have their groceries scanned through the red laser. This therefore explains the reason why their prices are never numbers that end with 5 or 0. They're always weird numbers, ending in 3s, 8s or 6s, making you think that you're saving a few cents on aggregate, when really, they're trying to "help you out" with your wallet's weight issues.
