Is it possible to have a bank account or electric bill for a fraction of a crown?

In the distant past when I still named computers, I'd always make sure to have a zloty and a kopek somewhere in the zoo; typically they'd be NIS servers or recursive DNS servers or other similarly important task trivially serviced by an antiquated server I had fondness for and wanted an excuse to not retire. "You can't turn off those SLCs; they're the NIS servers for the statistics department..."

Yes, 0.01 crowns are still used for bills in Sweden.

The sender can elect to round them to the nearest crown, but that is optional.
