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.
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.
