a begrudging 1% price increase. OPEC must think that's awfully cute.

So when will the new one-tenth and one-one-hundredth of a cent coins be coming out? I have a feeling they would come in handy here. And more importantly, who or what will be stamped on them?

$99.99 cents is the new 99 cents. actually, wouldnt it be $0.9999? $99.99 is ninety-nine dollars and ninety-nine cents.

So if I buy two items, that comes to $1.9998 instead of $1.98 like it was before when things were just $.99. Are they rounding up?
