McDonalds Mistake

I made a Mistake at McDonalds today!

So Canada is discontinuing the penny, so McDonalds doesn't give out pennies anymore, but you can still give them pennies, right? So today I ordered a bunch of food, total came out to $10.83. I gave them $10.85, so change would've been 2 cents, but 2 cents rounded becomes 0 cents so I got nothing back.

But if I gave them another penny, or $10.86, then change would've been 3 cents... which, when rounded, goes to 5 cents - so if I added a penny to my $10.85, would they have given me a nickel? Or would they just give me my penny back? Imagine if they had to give me a nickel - then yeah, I would've made a mistake. I could've turned a penny into a nickel today.
