Rounding of CHF / Swiss francs
Closed this issue · 2 comments
The Swiss Franc (CHF) is a rare currency that has gotten rid of 1-4 cents, making the smallest denomination CHF 0.05, or 5 cents. Therefore, CHF 1.23 does not exist, it becomes either 1.20 or 1.25.
There are a few shops that do use 1-cent steps. However, at the bottom of the receipt, they must still end up with a 5-cent precision amount. So you'd see things like:
- Bread: CHF 1.23
- Milk: CHF 0.43
- Rounding difference in your favor: CHF 0.01
- Grand total: CHF 1.65
It's a pain, especially since the rounding rules are different for a virtual subtotal and an actual payable amount.
Does this gem support anything like it / would you be willing to support it? This would likely also mean to have different behavior for CHF regarding .to_s, .to _f etc.
Unfortunately, I don't really have the time to be active on this project, but a long time ago, we once introduced this feature: #433
Maybe this still works?
Indeed, round_to_nearest_cash_value covers this fully :-)
Thank you very much!
