Yep, we don't actually have the right in the US to set our prices to the nearest 5 cents because that 6.5% sales tax will mess things up. (Could we factor that into the prices we set? Not with the current systems, where every jurisdiction has a different sales tax but prices are often set centrally. Could we use a VAT system instead of sales tax? Theoretically, but this is the US, so: no.)
The solution of course is that nobody pays cash anymore unless they want a $.04 surcharge on every purchase. Cash is, after, all, difficult to track and difficult to control.
