A POS terminal (10) generates a purchase price of a purchase, and generates a rounded price. The rounded price may be, for example, the lowest whole number greater than the purchase price. The POS terminal (10) then calculates a round- up amount (change due to the customer) as the difference between the purchase price and the rounded price. The coupon value (414) is set based on the round- up amount. For example, the coupon (410) may be redeemable for triple the amount of change due. The POS terminal (10) prints on the coupon (410) an identifier, such as a bar code (372), that is based on the coupon value (414). The bar code (372) allows the coupon (410) to be read by a POS terminal (10) when the coupon (410) is redeemed.

L'invention concerne un terminal point de vente (10) qui produit le prix d'achat d'un bien, puis un prix arrondi. Ce prix arrondi peut par exemple être le nombre entier le plus faible immédiatement supérieur au prix d'achat. Le terminal point de vente (10) calcule ensuite un montant arrondi (la monnaie due au client) égal à la différence entre le prix d'achat et le prix arrondi. La valeur (414) du bon de réduction est alors fixée sur la base de ce montant arrondi. Le bon de réduction (410) peut par exemple représenter trois fois la valeur de la monnaie devant être rendue. Le terminal point de vente (10) imprime sur ce bon de réduction (410) un identificateur, par exemple un code à barres (372), sur la base de la valeur (414) du bon. Ce code à barres (372) permet à un terminal point de vente (10) de lire ce bon de réduction (410) lorsqu'un client se fait rembourser ce dernier.
