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.

Nah, the 1 and 2 cent pieces of the currency Germany had before the Euro isn't worth shit. I bet that people still find a bunch of them in couches etc ^^

We can do the "Glückspfennig" stuff again. Make 'em into "lucky cents" or smth.
