> Businesses and consumers will not be worse off.

What’s your calculation?

The costs aren’t zero. Businesses will need to re-tool. Consumers will spend more because purchases will be rounded up to the nearest nickel.

What’s going to offset those costs?

Register systems like Toast, Square, Shopify, etc. will have to issue a software update that rounds cash transactions to the nearest 5c. It will certainly be a cost, but not an very large one, and no business is likely to see it as a line item on their P&L beyond what they already pay to their POS vendor.
