> I'd really hate my 6% sales tax to be raised to 10% so that we could kill a coin I don't even use (last paid cash probably a year ago).

If you're paying in plastic then there's no rounding.

Well OP did say

>If you drop the penny, for the love of $diety change your sales tax structure so that it's a multiple of 5. 5%, 10%, 15%, etc.

Which I assumed wouldn't be just for paying with cash. I don't know if a 'cash tax' would even be legal.
