This is best practice, and more consistently followed in proportion to experience in 
the field, I assess.

These names serve your pedagogical purpose, but simultaneously serve to 
illustrate that there's an element of style involved, not just engineering.

To my eye those names are longer than need be. I cannot and will not claim any 
objective validity to that assessment, but I would in a project push for more elegant 
names.

I don't necessarily mean abbreviated. Elegance is an ineffable match of form to 
function to aesthetic expression. Sometimes terse, sometimes verbose, elegance 
adapts to the circumstance and objectives of the moment.

My preference in this instance for the proffered scenarios would be more like

DOLLAR_ROUNDER
DISTANCE_ROUNDER

My reasoning involves degree of information conveyed relative to length and subitizability
of morpheme count.

But my action is based on a more intuitive sense, arguably one that subsumes the 
rationalized basis.
