Officially where? There are lots of fractional prices in GURPS Low-Tech eg. ammunition or Inflated Skins (p. 138) or containers (p. 34). And if GURPS prices were rethought on a 1:10 or 1:3:10 scale, conventions would presumably change.

Another way to handle objects under $1 is to give the price for a set of n things (eg. $1 for 10 wooden beads or 20 sheets of rag paper)
