I thought some countries rounded to 5 or 0 whether or not it was cash, but it's been like 15 years since I've traveled to another country that wasn't Canada, so I might just be remembering wrong. In Canada's case though yeah it's not that big a deal if card transactions still go to individual cents

Canada doesn't round for non-cash transactions (which is why I can do this exercise with my bank/credit statements), but admittedly I'm also not sure if other countries do. The only one I know for sure is that Australia automatically rounds down in every case, but I couldn't tell you if that's only for cash transactions or not. It's only really necessary for cash transactions, but it wouldn't be surprising if it were applied to other retail transactions for consistency's sake.
