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 have a big jar at home putting all copper coins into it out of my wallet from time to time ...

Some stores provide the possibility to round up the sum and donate the difference to a charity. I think this is also a good idea.
