If this question is in reference to the Canadian penny, there are two main reasons. The first is that it costs more than face value to produce one cent, and the second is that due to inflation, one cent is next to worthless. Cash transactions will be rounded to the nearest five cents, though credit card, check, and online payments will still be in exact amounts.
