New Zealand has also eliminated the five cent coin.  But there, and in
Australia, everything works with all hundred cents to the dollar.  If something
costs $9.99 and you pay for it with a credit card, the card account will be
debited $9.99.  The elimination of the small value coins only affects cash
transactions.  Of course, the cash-rounding is assessed last.  If you buy 10
things each costing $9.99, the cost will be $99.90, however you pay.
