Yes say bye bye to 1sen coins, the deadline is finally here, although there are some outlets still accepting it and did not follow the rounding mechanism (new adjusting system only applicable to total amount). So people get your butt up and start sending your 1 sen coins to bank! Because the Bank Negara wishes to reduce the demand for the 1 sen coins.

So our secondary mathematic do pay off huh? Because now we are applying the rounding mechanism in our daily life! lolz

The rounding mechanism applicable to the total amount of a bill, included tax, which ends in 1,and 2sen will be rounded down same goes for 6 and 7 sen will be rounded down to the 5 sen. Whereas the total bill which ends in 3, 4, 8 and 9 sen will be rounded up example
RM 2.11 and RM 2.12 will be rounded down RM 2.10
RM 2.13 and RM 2.14 will be rounded up to RM 2.15
RM 2.16 and RM 2.17 will be rounded down to RM 2.15
RM 2.18 and RM 2.19 will be rounded up to RM 2.20

Remember this or you will end up embarrass yourself haha

Now would be a good time for numismatists to save the obsolete coinage for the future.

i don't think i'm gonna like this system because in a way u gain but then u also lose. and when u swipe ur credit card this system doesn't apply. what's the point?

Eek
Overhauling the system, or at least reshaping it = pain in the butt. Hopefully it pays off in the long run, but I don't see what rounding would really do, especially if it's only for coined currency like Renaye said
