Google play doesn't let you set a price lower than $0.99 CAD

I tried to post an app for $0.36 but Google didn't let me it said it had to be between $0.99 to over $200.
So I think $0.99 is too expensive for my simple app.. but free..well I'd like to make a little something.
What do you think? not like Google play will change their policies..but just as a random discussion.
Do you think the minimum should be lower?
I think it should be like a nickle ($0.05 minimum) that way people are more likely to spend a few nickles and it adds up to give incentives for developers.
Google keeps 30 % percent by the way. That's why I wanted to post it as $0.36 because then i get to keep a quarter, oh the lovely quarter that we used to spend away in the arcade days..I used to ask old ladies who went groceries shopping if i could take their carts back for them so i could keep the quarter and spend it in the arcade near by.

    apple is the same. Don't forget they need to make money too as their take is a %. These services cost money to run. Remember they are not a charity they are a business with shareholders.

    I understand, just random ranting about minimum prices... They probably don't want to do a transaction if it's less than $0.99
