We had the end of the penny a couple of years ago and just round up or down based on the 5 cents. I have to say, my pockets have never been so thankful.
Rounding to the nearest .05 seems arbitrary and arguably complicates things even more.
I'd say wait until the penny is so worthless that we can just nuke the nickel too and chop a decimal off so the dime is the new penny. It's nice and small too so it really is suited to being the smallest denomination.
We really should stop making pennies. Not ban them or anything, Just turn the press off.

IDK, about more complicated. It works within our 10 digit system and it cuts out 8 other digits to deal with.
But I do like the idea of dimes being the smallest denomination; I personally find them the cutest.
Yeah, even when I was hella broke, pennies weren't troubling math they caused.
