OPTIMAL CHANGE

  Len Augsberger writes: "Regarding optimal change, a local
  fast food restaurant will not dispense 99 cents change.  The
  register receipt will actually specify $1.00 change, if, for
  example, you pay for a $4.01 bill with $5.00.  It seems that
  the cost of dealing with the 99 cents change is no longer
  worth a cent.  Given the proliferation of "penny cups", can
  the death of the cent be that far off?"
