Money Changes Everything (Cyndi Lauper)
Sweden did away with pennies. I am not sure when, but everything is rounded now to an even half or full krona. When you go to the store the price you see is the price you pay. There is no tax added at the register because it is already calculated in and is displayed. No surprises. Another interesting thing that is done here is currency is retired. There are new kronors out and the old ones have to be exchanged by a certain date or they are no longer valid. Can you imagine not having to use pennies, nickels and dimes in the U.S.?
