1 and 2 cent pieces, what do you think about removing them? (feddit.de)

They're not worth anything, never were but even less through the years with inflation.

If a store wants to sell something for 99 cent, they can either just take 1€ or 95 cent.

Maybe even 5 cent pieces? But that would be a bit radical.

I am a bit annoyed that easy ideas like this are never discussed in politics, or wherever. It would make our lives just a little bit easier, and having them achieves NOTHING.

Part of the ancient shopping ritual to put out the small coins and delay the queue as long as possible. Why?

To get rid of the small coins, duh! Though I only do this when there is no queue. Hate to carry around a few red coins just for these occasions. Yes, get rid of them, please!
