Having read through this QOTW and seen so many object to the £1.99 stuff, why don't they find out what it is really for? But that would spoil a good ill informed rant.
When all transactions are electronic, we will see it diminish. Until then it's to stop low paid shop workers lining there pockets.

is to keep lower denomination coins in circulation. If something costs £1.99 and you hand over £2 then that's another 1p back in circulation.
I broadly agree with the sentiment expressed in the OP but I also think that cunts like Tesco would cynically raise the price of something costing £10.24 to £10.26, so they could then round it up to £10.50, rather than down to £10. Anyone else?
