Get rid of those annoying worthless coins ! When I see a 2cent on the ground I don't both picking it up. I have a cup full of them at home (we all do). They are a complete waist.
What we need instead is developing a robust, EU wide and well regulated system for mobile payment. You just pay by scanning a QR code or NFC. This is very common is Asian countries already. We should do that, but EU-grade.
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.
What I'm questioning myself is If we would remove the 1 and 2 cent pieces Would they in the future increase in value because of them being rare.
Doesn't make sense. You could just throw away all 1 and 2 cents for yourself and round everything up if you really wish not having to worry about them anymore. Problem solved :)
what? so if my bill is 1,96 euro i should pay 2 euro and the store will get the 4 cent? no way. that sounds not like much but its like per custumer per day lot. i even hate it that on gas stations there is a .cent. for example gas 1 euro 59,9 cent. what is this bullshit? just money making for the gas stations and oil companys.
What makes you think you'd have to round up instead of down?
Ah those arguments have already been done to death in the countries that did implement it. It really doesn't change a thing in the grand scheme of things. Even the shops were worried that they'd lose money on it, so no, it's not a money making scheme, it averages out perfectly fine.
