    John - your 2 cent record was awesome requiring thought, skill, dexterity, cunning and the stuff of champions. Let's see if we can break more records together. :)

    It would be nice to see a video with this one... :) Entering the store, asking for payment etc...

    I guess the US dollar is more valuable than the Australian dollar, if I make a purchase of 1 cent (Australian) technically it should beat the record as this would equal 0.8759 US cents... getting a little technical?

    Well played David, well played! And a record that is secured for eternity! hahahahaa

  • Be careful- your credit card company might freeze your card if you do this, as putting small amounts on a card is a pattern shown by credit card thieves (they often test cards at a gas station to see if the card still works- this happened to me!)...

    It is very hard to get a pump to stop at 1 cent.... I tried several times at several stations. To the person who breaks this record: You deserve it! =)
