Swedish Rounding
by Adam & Lara on 08/12/10
In New Zealand they got rid of 1 and 5 cent coins awhile back, so the stores round to the nearest 10 cents on purchases. They call it Swedish Rounding. Everywhere else it's just called "rounding," except for Sweden where they call it "öresavrundning." Eventually the States will get rid of smaller denomination coinage and stores will implement rounding policies and they will probably call it "Freedom Rounding." And at some point after that somebody will move from the US to New Zealand and write a blog post about how funny it is that they call Freedom Rounding "Swedish Rounding." But the Swedes won't be laughing. No, not this time.
