If the government made all items sold to end in zero, pennies would be useless. Right?

How great it would be if pennies were banned. My pocket would be lighter and gasoline would have to sell for an even amount. $3.499 would be coverted to $3.50 a gallon, for example. Local taxes would go from 9.259% to 9.26%. Yes, it would be a small increase, but at least my calculator would have a rest. Question: pennies, good for the country or a pain in the rear?
