1 million worthless pennies

In Australia we have legislation that limits the dollar amount that must be accepted as payment. I forget the figure but it was less than $10 before we introduced $1 and $2 coins. I don't know if the limit was raised when the higher value coins came in.

We used to have 1c and 2c coins too, but they were dropped several years ago. Now every price and charge gets rounded up or down to the nearest 5 cents.
