But even still, five whole bucks for 17 cents? One dollar cards should be a given. Imagine if the US treasury decided that one, five, and ten dollar bills weren't needed? "If you're willing to pay a dollar for something, you should be willing to pay twenty for it!"

IIRC, it's because below a certain amount, it costs them more to make the transaction than they actually make in it.
