They are annoying. I save up a big jar of just 1 and 2 pieces and go to the marts that have self checkouts and take coins and just dump em all in. Otherwise useless
Do you know if there is such a mart in Germany?
Kauflands have them
Never seen one in my local Kaufland, but will keep an eye open next time Iโm there.

Yes, please remove 1, 2 and 5 cent coins. I'd argue for also removing 10 and 20 cent. How do you get rid of them? I feel ridiculous paying with them. So I just don't.
Does anyone else think it's a little backwards that the large denominations are fragile paper bills, but the small ones are metal coins sometimes worth less than the metal in the coin? Shouldn't the large denominations be coins, which last longer, and the small denominations be bills, which are easier to carry in large quantities?

The problem gets worse if you realize that the material value of the copper is greater than the coin value itself with 1 cent.
Aren't 10p pieces now worth less than the ยฝp when it was removed from circulation? It's not just 1 and 2 that are overdue

I never accept 1,2 and 5 cent coins. This probably adds up to 3โฌ a year, which is affordable to me
Yeah it's always so weird to me, people pay 100x that for other minor conveniences.
