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