About Cash Acceptance Laws
Some states and cities have laws requiring businesses to accept cash. While separate from penny rounding guidance, these laws may affect how businesses implement rounding:
- If rounding only applies to cash, it could be seen as penalizing cash customers
- Use symmetrical rounding to ensure fairness over time
