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.

I think the idea is that on the other hand the store will only get 2€ if the bill is 2,04€. On average there shouldn't be any difference for both sides. About the gas stations I agree 100%.

The Stores will all do 1,96 then and no store will do 2,04 since that would make a loss on their side.

Only if you buy just one thing.
