A couple of theories.....
1. to feel justified in shaving a bit of gold off a coin.
2. To be able to keep the entire change amount.Comment

A couple of other theories.
1 Something to do with tax perhaps tax was done per £5 or something like that?
2 So that people had something top put into chartiry boxes next to the till.Are we having fun yet?Comment

I spend much of my Sundays pondering this. It struck me that if you price things just under an amount, people are likely to pay that amount. (eg. £4.99, people give you a fiver) you give a penny change.Originally posted by Sagacious Dolphin
While your waiting, anyone know the original reason for store items to be priced at just under a whole amount (e.g £9.99 as opposed to £10, or $4.95 instead of $5)?
This is a damn sight easier than pricing stuff at £5.01, and giving 99p change when they give you £6, or more likely, £4.99 change when they give you a tenner.
Of course, in practise, this is all rubbish, as people will pay with a £20 note however cheaply you price things.Concrete, Abstract, or Squoingy?
