Google if you like, but spoils the fun.
In shops etc. items are usually priced just below a round number. e. g. £9.99, £19.99. Most people assume it is to make that item appear cheaper but that is not the reason it was introduced.
Does anyone know why?

To make people come up with silly questions to baffle you with :D :D :D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

So people can collect the 1p pieces.

Didn't read the question did ya? ;)

Is it so the retailer can collect the 1p change as everyone in the world says "forget the penny?" and then use the change for a Butlins holiday?

And keep them in circulation - especially useful for the fairground penny drop game thingy

The reason was, as usual, to counter 'human' tendencies. It was introduced so that change would have to be given, so the till would have to be opened, so the sale would have to be recorded.
In other words, to stop the teller stuffing notes into his pocket.

Any 'Teller' worth their weight would have a few pennies on top the till. ;)

Remember, this was before most of the human race became scum. I'm sure the customer would have let the shopkeeper know what was going on.
