I wasn't talking about rounding up. I meant exactly the same thing you're saying about month 4.

> Because the bill included a detailed breakdown of all the fees by type and transaction.

Was it all rounded [down] to the nearest penny?

That type of bill can already fail to add up to the total very easily, like x.xx4 + x.xx4 + x.xx4. So I'm still not sure why there was a need to have a line item to explain this single penny.

Was there only a single charge on each bill that used fractional pennies? So that this was the only time that things wouldn't add up perfectly?




Canada abolished the penny some years ago. If some retail item in a store costs $2.03 and you insist on paying with cash, you will have to use a nickel and pay $2.05.

Yet, life goes on; nobody goes to jail.


Generally such rules are only about cash, though.
